    Very funny old pal.

    A world that doesn't have an evacuation plan and has the kind of population we have couldn't possibly be looked upon as all that intelligent. We need to spread our seed upon the moon and work out from there. Self preservation is a trait of the intelligent. As humans, we suck at it. And as the leading nation of our world, we lack long term goals. Evidence of this can be found in our 17T deficit. If an intelligent species were to view how we PLAN to bury our young under impossible debt, they would think it a sign of stupidity and move on to let us die on our own.

    You are in no position to make that determination. What of quantum entanglement? The precise and instant replication of data unbound by the laws of space-time? Quantum computers too, could theoretically process and replicate certain types of information much faster than sending radio signals.

    What you are saying here simply does not hold up to scrutiny.

    I agree with what you're saying here, buddy. We have become slaves to our own system. It is the leaders of the system who have gradually done this to us, but I do not blame them. We are all actors now, performing our roles for the pleasure of the thing we have built.

    I think the idea is that SETI is only looking at a sub-set of possible communications. The ones that are primitive 20th century technology.

    We can't detect the quantum communications stuff, as far as I know.

    We have our faults that would turn many off no doubt, but if the Universe is so chuck full of life not all of them would think the same, not all would ignore such a beautiful planet.

    If you read the posts I made before the one you quoted it should become clear to you that I know this, and it was in fact the reason I used the example of quantum entanglement in the first place. It is a potential direction for future communication to take which does not involve the use of radio waves.

    Hey, I'd at least take a few pictures as I passed by if I were them. Our world is beautiful. And a quick fly over the grand canyon would be worth the effort. And if they stopped to talk to people who didn't vote for our president, they might find something more tangible. (I always have to throw that in there.)

    Flounder, you do pull from the better side of things while I trot out the dirt. But you are right, we have something to offer. Something very good. I just wish, as a species, we found a better way to leave our children with a better place than we have now. I don't want them to look back at us in the coming decades and wonder why we cared so little for their well being. I don't want them to feel like we had a grand party at their expense. And I sure hope they do not use our actions as an example of how they should treat their own young.

    I finished my first draft of a novel dealing with the people of earth having the chance to migrate to one of two planets, one based in capitalism, or one based in socialism. I think you might like it.

    I bet I would love your book,,sounds exciting.

    As far as feeling bad about what we leave our children , just think of our parents, are you angry with them? Course not, nobody deliberately wants to destroy our planet,,balance my friend, moderation. Also as we develop, newer and better ideas will surface to regenerate and preserve our beloved planet.
    Even the greediest of the greediest knows if you spoil the Bath water,,,,no bath. The ideas and funds will come from those that have a true incentive to do so, the successful,,,always has. Even with further exploration of the Universe it will eventually come from them, there are rich's beyond belief just waiting to be picked up practically from the surface of some asteroids...

    Our children will do just fine as long as their freedom is allowed to flourish, and not be substituted for Brand X. You want to see Greed?, selfishness?, Control, no matter what the price? Look no further than a huge green Lawn and a big White House.

    “The fault, dear Lowden, is not in our stars, but in ourselves.” Look no further than who we put in that big White House.

    Hope I get to read your book, of course I will want it autographed after I purchase it....you betcha!

    When discussions turn this way I defer to the legendary Carl Sagan and his "Pale Blue Dot" speech "For now, like it or not this is where we make our stand"

    Look at yourself at 20, then look in the mirror at 65,,,now that's humbling....LOL A pale blue dot,,,meh....

    I get his point, and done beautifully, and so many times we say,,''It all means nothing'' However,,when your thoughts go back to reality it's how you are living on that pale blue dot that counts,,not it's significance to the Cosmos.

    The Cosmos means me no harm,,never will

    Maybe we should launch a probe to Alpha Centauri claiming we prefer eminent domain privileges in regard to any bypasses that may be contemplated.

    There is a great deal of testimony given about encountering Alien Races......but if anyone actually goes to say...ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN...etc....and tells them they have an actual piece of Alien Technology.....in EVERY SINGLE TV NETWORK, RADIO, NEWSPAPER OR MAGAZINE AND INTERNET NEWS OUTLET.....there are specific agency operatives planted at various levels.

    As well....large Media Companies have been since WORLD WAR I.....told that any major news story that might have possible PUBLIC HYSTERIA RESULTING EFFECTS after the story is released.....the News Company MUST first inform a specific agency of this story.

    Failure to do so will result in possible charges being filed against specific people in the company....under such categories as TRAITOR, SEDITION, MANSLAUGHTER....etc.

    As to date there has been over 900 planned Media Specials where supposed PHYSICAL ALIEN TECHNOLOGY was to be shown and demonstrated.

    Only 17 of these planned Media Specials have occurred and of those 17 only 4.....which were TV specific actually showed supposed Alien Material all 4 being a piece of non-uniform metal piece that was claimed to be an Alien Tracking device that had an unusual amount of Human Nerves that appeared to have grown and connected to it.

    Tests done upon the removed supposed Tracking Devices....which had been sending out a Dual Radio Signal prior to a Surgeon cutting them out of the Arms, Legs and Buttocks of those implanted....as the moment they were removed from the Human Body they stopped broadcasting....all proved unremarkable as these supposed tracking devices were comprised of Elements readily found on Earth.

    Since there are the same elements available throughout our Universe with the possible exceptions of some unknown Isotopes....it is not unusual that the materials these supposed tracking devices were made of could be found on Earth.

    Any real proof is suppressed well before it becoming public knowledge and if the closest thing you will EVER get to real proof is listening to NASA Astronaut testimony such as Buzz Aldrin, Gordon Cooper, George Mitchell, Story Musgrave and many others.

    All of these NASA ASTRONAUTS are AMERICAN HERO'S and they are breaking their NONDISCLOSURE AGREEMENTS because they are old and figure if something was to happen to them it would make their statements about contact with Alien Races all the more prominent a story in todays Mass Media.

    These Hero's have NOTHING TO GAIN and EVERYTHING TO LOSE!

    Your lucky I can even say as much as I have.

    I am ALLOWED to post ONLY ON THIS FORUM as a reward for doing a good job....as I needed to reduce my stress level....and THE MOMENT IT IS DETERMINED I HAVE POSTED ANYTHING THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING OR SOME KNOWLEDGE THAT IS OR HAS NOT ALREADY APPEARED IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN......well that will be the last thing anyone ever reads from me.

    SETI looking for an E.T. Signal with the equipment they have is like looking for a Needle in a Haystack the size of Jupiter.....and the NEEDLE being 1/1000th the size on an ordinary needle.

    First of all advanced E.T. Races use a form of Communication which is sort of like Subspace Radio

    For those of you who are interested in Advanced and FTL Forms of Communication I would advise you to look up the works of Dr. T. Townsend Brown.....who did Advanced Research for the U.S. Navy and is FAMOUS for his work done in the now FAMOUS PHILADELPHIA EXPERIMENT......yes that actually happened as the U.S. Navy was attempting to use Electro-Gravitic Technology to make a Ship....visually INVISIBLE....but they got WAY MORE THAN THEY BARGAINED FOR.

    Anyways....I happen to know the now deceased Dr. Browns daughter....Linda....who just put out a book a year or two ago called....THE GOODBYE MAN.....which in the book talks about her being a kid and experiencing her dad's run in's with the U.S. Navy, FBI, CIA, General Curtis LeMay....the founder of SAC and famous for the quote..."WE WILL BOMB THEM BACK TO THE STONE AGE!"

    Dr. T. Townsend Brown's work is applicable to FTL COMMUNICATION....or... FASTER THAN LIGHT COMMUNICATION.

    AboveAlpha....p.s...if anyone want's more information about this PM me.

    Allow me to enlighten you about this Bean Spill.

    Now in that picture you see an opened can of beans and the fluid dropped and sitting spilled open on the floor but did you know that all the material that makes up the floor as well as all the material that makes up the can, beans, fluid and any other preservatives in the can.....neither the material of the floor or the material of the can and beans is actually touching one another?

    Did you know as you and I press our fingers to type out our posts that our finger tips do NOT ACTUALLY TOUCH THE KEYS AND THE KEYS NEVER COME INTO CONTACT WITH OUR FINGER TIPS!!???


    Do you know why?

    AS I have posted before....any advanced Alien Race capable of Interstellar Travel which means Folding Space-Time which also means understanding the UFT....Unified Field Theory....which means if you understand the UFT....you can change Energy into Matter and Matter into Energy.

    If you can do that and have the capability to generate a Matter/Antimatter Multiversal Cascade Reaction and Energy Generation you have all the energy you need to create ALL THE MATTER YOU NEED.

    So if you need say...WATER.....you use the Energy created form a Matter/Antimatter Multiversal Cascade Reaction and you can create OCEANS OF WATER.....or with the help of advanced Quantum Computers you can use the Energy to create any Food, Machine, Object or anything else you would require.

    So...long explanation short.....if you can travel from one star system to another.....you don't need ANYTHING WE HAVE .....as you can create it.

    I can't understand why everyone is all upset about the NSA thing.

    HELL...that is OLD NEWS!!!

    Multiple DECADES ago IBM created software for the NSA which was known to be ECHELON.....LINK...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECHELON

    Now it was known decades ago that this allowed the NSA to monitor and record EVERY SINGLE BIT OF ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION UPON PLANET EARTH.

    What has replaced ECHELON is like replacing a Horse with a DODGE VIPER.

    None of this was ever secret and our Allies certainly knew we were keeping an eye on them.

    It is curious they picked this time to make such a fuss.

    If there is one thing we have learned is that #1....OPTIONS ARE NEVER LIMITED. #2....The only thing that is certain is CHANGE, DEATH....and TAXES.

    As crazy as this might sound the fact the China was chosen and holds a huge amount of Loans of Debt from the U.S. was part of an overall plan of Strategy first developed in the early 70's by Kissinger and Nixon.
