saying was genuine + The long press conference given in Washington: "The Disclosure Project" video These are just a few things, that you are ignoring. I could list dozens more. We now know many things where we have been lied-to by the Mainstream Media. What makes you think they have been telling the truth about this important matter? The market is "bipolar", swinging back and forth from a focus on Inflation to Deflation. Bet on swings; and stay flexible. What are bipolar markets? See: http://tinyurl.com/GEI-Manix Hi John - as usual you make good points about the likelihood of intelligent life visiting earth and the vast distances involved. I really don't think that most most people appreciate just how far away even the closest stars are. However, as well as considering where we are we should also consider when we are. Just as there is nothing special about where we are in the universe there is nothing special about now or this year/decade/century. If an advanced ET civilisation did exist why should they visit now? An advanced culture would have had millions of years to explore earth before we evolved into modern man and could easily have influenced our development for good or bad but no evidence of any visit exists. The statistical argument that there must be intelligent life out there is certainly compelling but given the lack of evidence about other worlds, the evolution of early life / multicellular life etc. it's virtually impossible to make an informed decision.
