What's wrong with there being ETs (smarter than us none the less)
If one were to look up the sky hundreds, thousands of years ago in the
night, he would see a clear view to the Milky Way, and not just a few stars. The first question one may ask: Is there life out there? If one is influenced in mass belief systems like the God **** the Catholic Church, he may not ask such questions and assume Earth is in the center of the Universe. The Catholic Church for two milennia killed people who brought opposing views, scientists were put to hard positions. Even today American Christians have a bad view of science, and they say it on Christian Radio Stations. In Europe and elsewhere people don't like American mass mentalities in 2007. |

Go figure, why all the sudden news media blackout? - Brad Guth - If the WHOLE EARTH was the CREATION of an advanced civilization, where does that place the competitive factions of transpor- tational infrastructure in the light of ancient prophecy? The current infrastructure (roadways, bridges, gasoline, oil, producers,etc.) have ALREADY become the infrastructure of a BYGONE ERA. Just because we have those trains of progress that have literally railroaded us into the police state that currently exists, is absolutely no reason to believe that a limited technology can make life any easier in the long run, that is, if the transnationists continue to "tweak" the limited technology with the borrowed time of newly borrowed, freshly washed, and accurately printed, antiquated capital. IMO, the "only act in town" that has been legally forced to comply with the retrograded capital are the Bush & Co. transnationalists in Iraq. In that sense, transnationalism has to be a good thing, but I also sense that, as a result of the war in Iraq, there has simultaneously been a reduction in our technological sovereignity, because of our EVER-INCREASING DEPENDENCE ON THE METERED ENERGY, METERED TELEVISION, METERED CELL PHONE TRANSMISSIONS, METERED TAXES - THE MICROMANAGEMENT AND METERING OF RETROGRADE CAPITALISM HAS BECOME LIKE A "... VAST ASSORTMENT OF COLORED BEADS WITHOUT A STRING TO HOLD THEM TOGETHER." [1] (Fractals at least have a string that holds them together!!) BUT WHO HAS METERED THE GROWTH OF BUREAUCRACY?? Yet aren't we becoming not only paranoid, but DELUSIONAL for the sake of RETROGRADE TECHNOLOGY, and ALSO IN THE NAME OF THE PERCEIVED NATIONAL SECURITY, if those who FUND OUR GOVERNMENT ARE FUNDING IT AT THE LEISURE OF RETROGRADE CAPITALISTS, AS WELL AS THE CONSTITUENT CRONYS WHO ARE *BOUGHT AND PAID FOR* IN THEIR LUST FOR POWER??? I COMPLETELY REJECT ANY CANDIDATE WHO DOES NOT ADDRESS THIS VERY IMPORTANT ISSUE WITH SOME REAL, SUBSTANTIVE, "OUTSIDE-THE-BOX" CRITICAL THOUGHT PROCESSES, THAT SHOULD NOT ONLY ACT AS THE ARBITER OF CHANGE, BUT ALSO HAVE THE WILL, FORTITUDE, STAMINA, AND INTEGRITY TO ENFORCE A NEW R & D PROTOCOL, THAT WOULD FREE THIS NATION FROM ITS DEPENDENCY ON FOREIGN OIL, EXPAND THE FRONTIER OF SPACE BY LIBERATING EARTH-TO-ORBIT TECHNOLOGY FROM "RAILROAD CAPITALISM", AND INSTITUTE A MARSHALL PLAN THAT WOULD, PER REVIEW, BEGIN TO "REIGN IN" ANY AND ALL OF THE REDUNDANT TECHNOLOGIES, WITH A MODERNIZED AND MASS PRODUCED (RETRAINING & JOB-CREATING) ECONOMIC VERSION FOR A NEW, TRANSPORTATIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE, THAT WILL MEET THE NEEDS OF THE 21ST CENTURY AND BEYOND. HAVEN'T HOMESTEADS BECOME SO ATTACHED TO THE ROADS THAT IT HAS BECOME "EASIER FOR A CAMEL TO GO THROUGH THE EYE OF A NEEDLE THAN IT IS FOR A RICH MAN TO ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN"??? IF THE ANSWER IS YES, THEN THE RESULT IS THAT THE MONOPOLISTIC ENERGY MARKETS HAVE BECOME TOO BURGEONING, WITHOUT BECOMING LEANLY DIVERSIFIED ENOUGH IN ORDER TO EXPAND THE TECHNOLOGICAL BASE WITH REVOLUTIONIZED COMPETITION. THE FED WANTS TO LIMIT "INDUSTRIALIZATION" BY EARMARKING FUNDS ONLY AT FOUR PERCENT GROWTH, WITHOUT TYING THEM TO AN ADVANCED EARTH-TO-ORBIT AND BEYOND TECHNOLOGY, SO ANY ADVANCE IN THIS AREA WILL HAVE TO COME FROM OUTSIDE OF THE U.S.!!! WE'RE BECOMING A NATION OF GLORIFIED ROAD POLICE, ON A WITCHUNT FOR INHABITANTS WHO ARE NOT PART OF OUR DRIVING ESTABLISHMENT. THE STATES HAVE BECOME TOO BURDENED WITH CORPOATE TRIAL LAWYERS TO PERMIT THE TYPE OF TESTING AND MARKETIZATION THAT ADVANCED PROPULSION TECHNOLOGY WARRANTS - THE FAT MARKETS OF STREAMLINED 'RUSE TECHNOLOGY' WILL CONTINUE TO EXPATRIATE THE BEST SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING FROM NOT ONLY THE MARKETPLACE, BUT ALSO FROM OUR COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES. THIS TRAGEDY OF HEROS WILL HAPPEN, IF THE ANTIQUATED, IDEALIST TECHNOLOGY CONTINUES TO SYLLOGIZE AND BANKRUPT OUR CULTURE. WE HAVE ALL THE CONSTITUENT ELEMENTS INTER- NATIONALLY THAT WILL SET THE STAGE FOR A MASTERFUL TECHNOLOGICAL TRAGEDY: ".. There are in tragedy as a whole, cosidered as a special form, six constituent elements, viz. Plot, Character, Language, Thought, Language, and Melody. Of these elements, two [Language and Melody] are the media in which they effect the imitation, one [Spectacle] is the manner, and three [Plot, Character, and Thought] are the objects they imitate; and besides these there are no other parts." The Spectacle is the World Trade Center Disaster. The characters are Bin Laden, Bush, Cheney, Col. Betrayas, Saddam Hussein, the Al Queda operatives, the presidential candidates, and the American people. The language and melody are the U.S. Media. The plot is to destroy America, the character is militaristic, and the thought? The thought may be the only thing that saves us from a completely militaristic society, and, at least, is able to stretch the plot from finishing its course within the next decade, but that's all. That's all that's happening here on planet earth. After that, it's purely a game of survival.

wrote in message oups.com... In Europe and elsewhere people don't like American mass mentalities in 2007. That's collective European guilt. America is actually taking on Europe's responsibilities around the world, instead of simply talking about them. Bosnia was in Europe's own back yard, and you did *nothing*. It took NATO- that is, the United States, to actually do anything. Europe actually *encouraged* the growth of violent Islamist groups by tolerating their actions, some of which was generated as a direct result of how Europeans divided the Middle East, and now the United States has to clean up the mess. I'd give a **** about Europe's opinion if Europe had clean hands. It was, after all, *France, Germany and Russia* that were actively violating the economic sanctions against Iraq, as documents found by the US shows. Europe need to talk less and act a lot more. |

How would yourself utilize a few spare megaWatts or gigaWatts worth of clean and renewable energy, such as on behalf of surviving on Venus? BTW, how would you survive a interstellar migration while onboard a rogue planet or moon, without benefit of a thick layer of ice or without salt? - Brad Guth Do you think that's any harder than surviving on Venus? No organic lifeform of any great complexity can survive on Venus, period. End of story. If you want a machine or artificial lifeform to survive there, then surely it could also be made to survive the interstellar trip. Ergo, the Venus thing is more or less moot. |

That is what you cannot get your head around. Jewishness ITSELF is not bad. A Jew may be good or bad, but it has nothing to do with him or her being Jewish. If you think it DOES, and you just hate ALL Jews, then you are Bigoted. If any faith-based group fails to police their own kind, what does that make them? Apparently in your good book, that swarm like mindset is what makes them the one and only good guys, and otherwise the very reason why THEIR Hitler and our resident warlord president got as far as they did. No, I did not say that. snip I do not love everything Bushasser does, by the way. Where at all have I supported the wars? But, where have you so much as shared one bad word against them blood and oil sucking *******s? Have you ever stipulated that GW Bush is a SOB born-again liar, or of something worse, and having backed that up with those reasons as to why you think our president should be terminated/impeached, or perhaps at the very least banished from Earth. Go and look up on Google Groups: "mike3 group:alt.politics.bush" and you will read everything I've said about Bush and co.'s policy. At least I've offered viable alternatives to war, clean and renewable energy and further resolve as to accomplishing the very salvation of our badly failing environment. I've also offered a great deal of focus upon obtainable off-world goals that would have direct benefit to the lower 99% of humanity (the upper 1% can fend for themselves). Ideally that 1% must be expanded as far as possible. How about your status quo or bust self? (implying that you and your kind wouldn't revise anything even if you could) I would revise a lot. You go and show me how to become able to do it and I'll do it. Why the heck though to I have to hate Jews, just because they are JEWS? THAT is bigotry, and THAT is WRONG. And NOTHING is unavoidable -- that's one belief I am NOT giving up, PERIOD. Good for yourself, as that's exactly my stance from the very get go. BTW, whom and/or of which cult like groups of individuals do you think are the most in charge of all that matters? How about sharing a mike3 top 10 listing? Not sure of a top 10, but I can name a top 3 offhand: 1. Big business. 2. Any extremist religious group (not *all* religious groups, but the extremist ones.). 3. The American government, George W. Bush included. I don't love "everything" anyone DOES, but it is those ACTIONS that are the problem, NOT the person's religion, race, or whatever -- those are totally irrelevant. Well, it's certainly having been the "actions" of those bad usenet Jews that suck and blow. Alright, the _actions_ then. That's what you should be going after. They say one thing to one another and then turn as a borg like swarm in order to topic/author stalk, bash and/or banish upon whatever goes the least bit against their Old Testament. It's as though Zion interpretations of those regular laws of physics and of the best available science is all that counts. As I've often said before about these usenet Yids, that any kind of revisionism is simply not allowed, no matters what the physics or best available science has to say. So, you tell me what that kind of topic/author stalking and of their naysayism bigoted gauntlet has anything to do with being a good Jew or whatever faith-basted cult. When was the last time you spoke out against those individuals as having caused this Earth so much collateral damage and carnage of the innocent? Have you delivered one bad word against our resident LLPOF warlord(GW Bush)? I've delivered a lot of critiques of all sorts of Bush stuff again and again. Look up: "mike3 group:alt.politics.bush" on Google Groups. Have you ever named names and for instance having called a bad Jew a bad Jew? Am I being a bad Mennonite? If so, where's my collateral damage and carnage of the innocent? If you want me to hate Jews because they are Jews, then you just want more BIGOTRY. It does not matter if it's a Jew, a Christian, even a rock hard atheist doing something -- the merit is totally unaffected by those things. Obviously you read into and/or interpret only whatever you want to believe others say. Proof being that I never once said that all Jews are bad. Thank you for correcting my error. In fact, I've said many times that most Jews are well above the norm in being good folks, that simply can't manage to police their own kind of certified bad Jews, such as all of those bad ones to be found right here in their anti-think-tank usenet from hell that want's nothing whatsoever to do with anything off-world unless it's inert or merely eye candy, that's never to be interpreted as having hosted any form of intelligent other life. In other words of a typically bad usenet Jew or pretend atheists, in their skewed faith-based mindset is where Earth is the one and only Godly planet with any form of life to behold, and yet yourself and others of your kind see nothing wrong with any of that Jewish buttology spewed crapolla. On a scale or pecking order of 1-10, which faith-base cults are most incharge? (and don't pull any of that pretend-atheists crap on us) - Brad Guth - Well in the Western world, it seems extreme fundamentalist Christianity is a fairly big one. Fundamentalist Christians include George Bush and those who helped him get in power. 1-10? 6, maybe 7. 10 goes to the big megacorporations, who worship the "almighty dollar" as their object of "faith" and their "religion". This includes companies like Halliburton, Exxon-Mobil, Microsoft, and others. Not sure about the Eastern world, but again, fundamentalist groups like Islamic radicals probably would go there. Fundamentalism seems to have a habit of getting into power. |

This is due to PHYSICAL LAW. Quantum physics -- the physics that controls atomic and molecular phenomena -- descibes how the rules of chemistry come about. Other candidates like silicon just do not seem capable of the stuff carbon can do, making life based on it, much less INTELLIGENT life, highly unlikely. And water is the universal solvent -- it's hard to beat. Other solvents do not work as well in other places. To be fair, our view of this may be biased by our own experience (and in particular, with what passes for "room temperature" on our planet. There's probably a lot of chemistry that takes place at much colder or hotter temperatures that we've barely scratched the surface of, in comparison, simply because we only encounter those conditions in the lab rather than being immersed in them every day for all of history. So, I remain agnostic on whether there are other chemistries that can support life as well as carbon and water. It is possible, perhaps, but the complexity is the question. See it's all about Complexity. As a rule, the higher the temperature, the less complicated the molecules can become. The really complicated molecules of biology therefore have a low max temperature. And there are only a few elements that can actually support complicated structures -- carbon is the best one. The close cousin, silicon, is still not stable enough in those configurations. I have no arguments against any of that. Of Venus originated/evolved life may in fact be highly complex, as I'd said being extensively exoskeletal comes into mind. How does that solve the fundamental problem of molecular composition and properties, anyway? Therefore, how exactly are the intelligent forms of life on Venus getting around those pesky thermal issues? - Brad Guth They don't, unless they're artificial forms of life designed by another lifeform that evolved in a more suitable environment for such things. |
