You mean those stories aren't true????? Their moto (like many theists) is "It could've happened." I remember an article on "Inside Edition" or one of those tv-based magazines about the WWN, they talked with the editor who claimed that every story has a basis in fact and that they wouldn't print a story unless it had such a basis and was a "really good story." The interviewer pointed to one of the headlines "12 pound baby born walking and talking" and the editor said; "That child was born, a 12 pound baby." The interviewer replied; "Walking and talking?" The editor took a beat and said; "It's a good story! Isn't it?" |

And there you have the formula for a woo-woo story: Take something that really happened and then add whatever details out of your own imagination are required to make it a really good story. And then when you suggest that perhaps the spaceship which was whooshing and zipping about in that newspaper article was Venus, the woo-woo looks at you like you're off your rocker. -- Regards, Mike Combs ---------------------------------------------------------------------- We should ask, critically and with appeal to the numbers, whether the best site for a growing advancing industrial society is Earth, the Moon, Mars, some other planet, or somewhere else entirely. Surprisingly, the answer will be inescapable - the best site is "somewhere else entirely." Gerard O'Neill - "The High Frontier" |
