I'm not convinced that it was a mistake. Call me crazy, but if you think
about the fact that government is _not_ forthcoming with info about
alien encounters, and they pretty much have control over space travel,
this is yet another example of over-governing. Think of the political
ramifications of our goverment acting as a conspiracy to keep this from
us...
I find it _very_ difficult to believe that _all_ these alien sightings,
landings, and 'abductions' are ficticious. Personally, I find it comforting
to think of the possiblity that:
a. The morons we call our government might have to answer to
a more intellectually and technically advanced body of
beings, i.e., some sort of 'Galactic Government' someday.
(but I'm not bitter, really) Of course, I'm assuming
that if they are more advanced, they couldn't have
gotten that way through socialist beliefs and practices.
and b. If a group of civilians can develop space travel without
goverment help/knowledge, there might be a place out
there to form some sort of Galtian society somewhere,
thats free of rampant socialism... I want to be on
the first ship to colonize that place.
The idea of aliens is a source of hope, since I can't believe in the idea
of there being a god. Like I said, you can call me crazy, but I don't care,
because I've been called that before many times.
