Right.. Now that I have my editor problems solved (bad emulation), and that
Jeff seemed to like it alot, I'll do it again, clarifying parts.

There was a post from some theist debating over time's infinity-ness. I cant
remember the name etc, but I'm not going to go thru 400 posts to find it.
Basically he said that sice radium comes from uranium, and if that time had
been infinite, all the uranium would be gone. Bullshit say I. Matter is
continually being created, destroyed (to & from energy), or generally
rearranged inside suns. This *wanker* assumed that all matter that currently
exists was created at the same time as the universe in which it exists.
Nonsense, of course.

I then asked him about aliens, thinking that this was the same type of moron
that thinks a god created life on this planet only. A rely would have been fun
to tear to shreads.

One Ridha Souissi (I think it was her) said that although men[sic] can create

Come to think of it, I know have one possible reason for aliens not wanting
us to find all about them (if they were really serious about making contact
they'd land in Rockafella Plaza, Rundle Mall, Leicester Square etc.)
They are using us as entertainment. Remeber the textual rendition of
Heisenberg's uncertainty principle - to observe is to disturb. One or
two of their vessels may be glimpsed to get us talking, but they can't have
zillions of 'SPYCAM for Earth Soapie !!!!' thingies since the novelty
of aliens would quickly wear off.

Yeh man. Shit! Somalia need all the help it can get. Don't forget the Croats
and Bosnians, and all the other peoples in trouble.

I don't seriously believe that if this thing about 'Greys abducting with
government blessing' is true that a fair number of rightuous officials would
be leakier than a collostomy bag made from tissue paper

The rest was an expression of general disinterest. Aliens exist. It doesn't
worry me.

Thanks Jeff, really made my night.
