the wonderful thing about the internet is that we now see in black and white the pints, the sahmees, the oldtimers, the usual non logical screamers -
we see just how many of them there are and just the level of gullibility, illogicality, the craziness of their conspiracy ideas, their ease of passing such on, their plain vanilla resistance to change
IMO - the internet has been worth it just to see the depth and volume of human stupidity - one visit to the religion and other nutters forum by aliens would be enough for them to lock the doors and speed away without stopping
I totally despair when I look at history and see this current crop of humans ----- I think Carl Sagan had it pinged years back
''Here we are like mites on a plum and the plum is this little planet and it goes around an insignificant local star, the sun.
And that star is on the obscure outskirts of an ordinary galaxy, the milky way, which contains 400 billion other stars. and this galaxy is just one of something like 100 billion other galaxies that make up the universe.
And it is now beginning to look, this universe is one of an enormous number, maybe even an infinite number, of other closed off universes.
So the idea that we are central, that we are the reason there is a universe is... pathetic.
We have to simply come to grips with the real universe that we really live in and if some of our myth and some of our religion is inconsistent with it, it's time to change the
myth and the religion.''
I'm so glad he didn't read HC then - he probably would have chosen another planet to live on
