Well, I cannot blame anyone for wanting to keep the dangerous ones (ie: Earth humans) away from other more peace-loving civilisations. I bet that if we have been quarrentined, then it will really piss-off the authorities and they will do all kinds of things to try to get around it. I pity the poor astronauts who have to be the front-line corps.
It wont hurt the rest of us to try and get on a little better and make the most of the mess we have made for ourselves. Personal responsibility has never been a big issue for humans, but maybe it is a fact that the chickens are coming home to roost and what we have sown, we are now about to reap.
Those that are putting their faith in a Second Coming, I feel are only wishful thinking. Sorry to all you religious types out there, but it looks more and more like our faiths were started as a result of interractions with aliens not with God..
Richard Hoagland has covered this concept in depth on www.enterprisemission.com and he makes a lot of sense. It's worrying, seems we are now land-locked as a race so to speak
Did everyone see the strange post on Skippers guest book about radio waves causing spirals ? Is that possible ?
If so that is an interesting concept for what we are seeing....the only problem is that as far as I know South Africa does not have that sort of technololgy so the 'meteor' we had could not have been that.
Its also strange that all these planes keep on going down in flashes of light, guess it could be bombs but that type of terrorism no longer makes any sense. Crashing a plane into the sea is only frightening to the people on board and if no one can prove it was a bomb then what is the point ? Is it possible that someone/thing is using the beam that OSD described on moving targets over the water where it does not make such a mess (except to the people on board and their loved ones). Is someone sending a message about how easy it is ? I guess Airforce One is no longer an option and those deep tunnels must be looking more and more viable !
Is that why we aren't going back to the Moon and we won't be landing on Mars. Have we had our wrists slapped. ?
And if you are told you aren't allowed off the planet, how do you stop commercial space enterprises ? Oh I know, you fund them, then when they are totally reliant on you, you take control or sabotage them but you make sure thay don't succeed.....
