Free cloo, Chu*k -- Darla is a drama queen.

On the other hand.. we have wars and violence, murder and homicide
by the millions every day.

I see no "prove" for your figures, Chu*k.

Those are the *holistic* death figures. For further information,
pleace to be purchasing one of Chunk's crystals, and stare into it

a cast iron frying pan.

Carl Sagan somehow knew about us
even before we contacted him. Don't ask me how,..

He was on a 'joint' adventure! Ha ha. :-)

Excellent, Bill, and hello, how are you?

When we contacted Sagan, at that time he had not dropped a doobie since
college.
But after talking with us, I suppose he felt he needed some time off.
So he dipped into some doobage on occasion.

Totally medicinal quantities, I assure you. G

drop
if man had a real perspective?

C.

Actually, the combined figures for every kind of death in the world is
presently 155,012 per day, Charles.

And before you hail us in with open arms to decrease this figure, you
might
wanna think about how you'll handle the daily global birth rate of
358,522.
Even with over 150,000 daily deaths, this still represents an increase
of
nearly 75 million babes each year.
Earth's human population is expected to top 6½ billion people toward
the
end
of this month.

So now that you have a "real perspective", what will you do with it?

Now as I said before, one word describes why at least 12% will commit
some
form of human biocide.

First Encounter Assult Recon - too good a game!


If you can't see it, you can't see it.

But rest assured, when Earth unifies with the rest of life in the
universe,
many people just won't know how to deal with it.
They'll kill themselves, their families and friends, their bosses and
employees, their cats and dogs.
And they will justify what they do by thinking of it as the lesser of
two
evils.
There can be no containment, as it will all happen practically in the
blink
of an eye.

And, for the most part, the only ones who Won't commit murder/suicide
are
the ones who are too afraid to.

Don't know about that Lomie. I know I wont be trying to kill myself.
Now,
maybe some of my fellow humans will bump me off before they go out
themselves, but it'll only be because I didn't duck fast enough. There
are
real problems that need to be solved, and mysteries to uncover (like
where
*do* all those socks and underware missing from the laundry really go?)
that I'll simply be too buisy to think about suicide for a few thousand
centuries. I can understand why you wish to converse with the Art Deco
personality now, pre contact. I imagine that type human will be almost
extinct after you initiate FOC. Best to study a dying species before the
end...

Actually Greysky, you may find it hard to believe, but Darla some time ago
estimated Artie, along with yourself, the nightbat, D-A, and a few others
here as being of "Sagan ilk".
Or "saganesque" as she often says.

It's a long story, but you see, Carl Sagan was the most fearless
astronomer
to ever live on Earth.
And believe me, there have been some REALLY fearless astronomers in the
past.
Carl Sagan somehow knew about us even before we contacted him.
Don't ask me how, even Darla doesn't know how, but he knew!
And when we contacted him, instead of cringing in fear as most humans
would
do, Sagan strode right up to me.
YES! right up to me! and he said, "You're the youngest, aren't you? I can
tell by your eyes."
By my eyes! just by looking me in the eyes he could tell!

So anyways, when we began to talk about the possibility of official
contact
and the PSR, Sagan indicated that he had already surmised what would
happen.
He had long been troubled because he knew we were here, and he knew what
would happen if we went global.
Sagan agreed that people just weren't yet ready for us, and that contact
must wait a while longer.

Greysky, I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with you.
All I know is that if we had a foolproof way of being able to tell who
would
snap and who wouldn't, we would be able to contain the first contact
biocide
rate to a whole lot better than 12%.
But our long experience shows that there is no known way for us to contain
this.
And the only ones who CAN contain it are the indigenous peoples
themselves.
They help themselves by being alert and fearless, "ducking" as you said.
But even with all this, the best we can hope for is still high, the 12%
figure.

So anyways, on a happier note, Mom and Dad are returning from Virgo
Central!
Also, Dr. Yubiwan is back, and Silouen has noted a significant change in
the
H-substance anomaly at the center of our Local Group.
So I have a mission!
I get to go with Sil and study the gravity thingie!
Aarrrrrggghhhhhh !!!
I FINALLY get to get out of this galaxy!

I LOVE you guys, ALL of you!
Gotta prepare, so I'll see you soon.

Your personal visit with Carl Sagan really did him good since he's now dead
!!

From 'dw':

..hello, how are you?

Happily, sappily irreverent as always. And disgustipated with the 'no
medium' doctrine, as usual.

When we contacted Sagan, at that time
he had not dropped a doobie since
college.
But after talking with us, I suppose he
felt he needed some time off. So he
dipped into some doobage on occasion.
Totally medicinal quantities, I assure
you. G

Then the dooby 'joints' were totally sacramental, opening up
splendiferous, iconic vistas into the cosmos to be announced in
stentorian tones.
But space was still functionally a 'void'.
So much for pot's knowledge-expanding value.

Dr Who Carl Sagan at the start of his famous TV show had a dandelion
seed floating off into space He knew about weeds. I knew about crazy
mushrooms. We know why Coca Cola became so popular over night. Don't
knock them unless you have tried them. Tobacco,and alcohol can do more
harm Sagan was one 0f my ideals TreBert
