it's rather sad that conservatives think that bible stories and
parables
are a good way to debate
facts.

Actually, Duff, that's a liberalist ploy!
Conservatives think that the best way to deal with facts is to conceal
them!
And for good reason!

We, for example, would not dream of engaging official contact when nearly
40% would jump off buildings rather than deal with the effects of the
certainty of us!

That assessment sounds totally unrealistic. *A good portion of the
population already believe that aliens are here!

However unrealistic it may sound, it is based upon the seans previous
experiences with other human-populated worlds.
Your point about the "good portion" (which could mean almost ANY amount) is
unrealistic.
But not for the reason you might think.
It is unrealistic because it is one thing to believe in something based upon
circumstantial evidence, and another thing to believe in something that's
been proven beyond a shadow of doubt to exist!

After official contact, some people will say, "Yeah, I always believed it,
but I never actually BELIEVED it!"
When I was rescued, I thought I was dreaming at first.
For the first few weeks, I honestly thought that I had died and was in
heaven!
It took many weeks for me to adjust to the reality that I was still alive!



Yes, the current estimate is that the global human population would drop
to
about 4,150,000,000 within three weeks if official contact were to be
engaged today!

Would that be all bad? *Isn't global overpopulation becoming a
problem? *You see, you can always find a silver lining!

Some people see it that way, yes, but not the seans.
The population of Earthbound humans is getting large for the size of Earth
and the amount of her resources.
However the human population is tiny compared to the human population of the
galaxy, let alone the total sean population, let alone the many other
sentient species.
Earth is not yet "overpopulated", and the galaxy isn't even remotely close
to human overpopulation.



So this potential suicide rate must improve considerably before we can
seriously entertain thoughts of officially unconcealing our presence!

Perhaps adding a tranquilizer to the Earth's water supplies on the day
of the big announcement would help.

That is only a "bandaid", Double-A.
What happens when the tranq wears off?
The seans will not like anything that treats merely the symptom and not the
cause of the fear.

On a separate note, I have been asked by my trainer, Sember, and by Yubiwan,
to post details about what is known about the missing crews.
I shall do so in a different post.

The seans are so concerned about suicides that might occur upon their
officially revealing their presence, but seem totally unconcerned
about all the sickness and dying that is going on because we lack
their medical technology which could be given to us anytime at their
whim.
