Gib, What is this? Some sort a test of my sanity? Re: Ray, do you think NASA actually put men on the moon? I've never doubted it for a second. I think people who do doubt it have a screw loose. Re: And what about that big USAF cover-up at Roswell? The USAF was clearly doing some high level research there and didn't want the public to know too much. This is standard procedure for the military. The fact that thousands of superstitious fools think there are extraterrestrials somehow involved leaves me baffled. I've got a couple of them here in my town. They're nuts. So, to sum up, the USAF was hiding something, but the preposterous notion that they were hiding extraterrestrials leaves me laughing at people's naivete. *** Re: I'm afraid your mental processes, while acute in some respects, have an enormous blind spot. Specifically, you eschew the use of Occam's razor. You will have to be much more specific about what you are claiming I'm creating a Rube Goldberg world of illusion about. For example, I loathe George Bush because he lied us into a war for plunder in Iraq. Is that what you are referring to? Or are you referring to the fact that Occam's Razor would suggest that the most likely explanation for all the concrete in World Trade Center Towers One and Two to turn into micron size dust is high brisance explosives? Really, you do need to explain yourself better, or else some rational being will begin to suggest that you are incapable of deep thought. *** Re: But if scepticism is applied selectively it leads to a distorted view of reality. That's George Bush, in a nutshell.
