i'm rather devided on the "want to believe" concept...
...the kid in me certainly thinks it a great idea to have aliens visiting
Earth and leaving advanced technology...
...however, the realist in me doesn't think it would be such a hot idea to
have an advanced civilization capable of deep space travel taking an
interest in Earth..."taking candy from a baby" comes to mind.
As far as our government acting with clarity, I have not observed a whole
lot of ideas coming from the White House...but maybe i've missed something.
Our current technology can also be held in question concerning the moon
landings...the inernet was originally developed for military use...who knows
what shadowy projects our technology has been used for...
As for me, I know I am convinced the moon landings are real, however, I only
believe because I've been taught thusly.
..."the more I know, the more I know I don't know"...
