A WHOLE NEW OUTLOOK: How are the politians, bankers, lawyers and insurance
agents going to deal with that? Fact is, if things change, the power (whether
political or economic) divisions would get shuffled. Someone might come up
a little shorter. I think thats where its all at. Lets keep on keeping on
since we are so comfortable. Its a fear that society would change in an 
undetermined way. Fear of the unknown, not of the greys. Actually, I think
the fear lays in the governments possibly not being able to shape or regulate
their respective populaces in their own predetermined way. Kind of like
the information squelch that ensues under some dictatorial governments when
they determine that free-thinking individuals basically are harder to keep
under their thumb. This is an example of politcal power shift. Not a pleasant
thing if you are in politics.

Also, another factor is the "gas saver carbuerator" (tm) theory. This is 
where a guy develops an amazing technological device that will allow the
average family car to run 1000 miles on a gallon of gas. The big oil
companies buy it up and pay the inventor millions of dollars to keep 
his mouth shut. This prevents an economic shift. I don't beleive this
has happened, just using it as an example. Possibly the Greys' technologies,
if the Greys exist, would make many large corporations obsolete in a few
years. I am sure the corporations would be in contact with their respective
governments to keep this information "down" as a survival technique. 

The fact is, the world is run on The Golden Rule. Its true. The Golden Rule
you heard as a child...NOT! The one being used today is:

He Who Has The Gold Makes The Rules

I am sure, if the Greys do exist, they that have the gold say the rule is UFOs
don't exist. If Greys are exposed, guess who has the gold now? Yeah, thats 
what the corporate and governmental officals are affraid of. Think about it.
Its pretty appearant.

OK. I can't stop here. You know what pisses me off? This: If a research firm
came up with a 100% safe, sure cure for, say, heart disease or cancer or
any one of the major diseases of the world, would he ever be able to market
it? I doubt it. There are too many doctors/corporations etc. making too much
money off of it to let that happen. Either that or, they would buy it up,
patent it and make the price so high as to keep any average person from
getting treatment. Its almost that bad now and the cure isn't ever there.

Let the Greys come. If they are friendly, I will shake their hands and wax
their saucers. If they are not, I will do what I can to blow them off the
planet.


Gregg (halfway through Secret Life)

Ps: Mary: you are right. It wouldn't have to have an adverse affect on
          society. It would have (read this carefully) an adverse affect
          on the things that adversly affect society. I think it
          would be good.
