But if you travel in the rural areas of the Midwest (WI, MN, IA)you'll meet some very nice people that would bend over backwards to help a stranger. <br /><br />I've also been to WV, and the people there do seem to have bad dental care and be poorly educated. Head further up Appalachia, and it's not as bad in Pennsylvannia. By the time you get to NY State, they are conservative folks but quite educated and rational. But the roads are better and they aren't as isolated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7905515.post-10115741990324669482009-12-23T15:04:31.196-06:002009-12-23T15:04:31.196-06:00Eric, would you really be interested in communicat...Eric, would you really be interested in communicating with the bacteria of a pile of dog poop you found while traveling? And do you think this pile contains some important resources for you? Energy? When you have antimatter?<br /><br />It's ridiculous to think earth would provide any benefits to smart aliens.<br /><br />Sex? If they are so smart, they can create whatever they like to. With advanced AI those machines would be adaptive and actually have a personality. Do you think in a thousand years anybody cares whether the loved one is artificial or real? What would be real anyway?Michael Stastnyhttp://mahalanobis.twoday.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7905515.post-20957628350384993792009-12-23T08:49:03.892-06:002009-12-23T08:49:03.892-06:00we didn't win over the natives by our sheer st...we didn't win over the natives by our sheer strength: the diseases we brought with us did most of the job.<br /><br />That's why the Chinese, despite being more advanced in the 15th century never had much of an empire; they traveled west (following the winds) and didn't have the immunity advantage.<br /><br />Without the immunity advantage it's hell to submit other peoples living 1000's miles away, regardless of the technical edge -just look at Afghanistan today.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7905515.post-85172913151110089112009-12-23T00:56:50.112-06:002009-12-23T00:56:50.112-06:00Ummmm so why haven't we won in Afghanistan yet...Ummmm so why haven't we won in Afghanistan yet? Could you please hop a plane to Kabul and explain what you just posted to the locals so they lay down their arms and just give up, since we are clearly soooooooo superior to them.

Some of these star systems are much older than the sun. It can be assumed then at least some of these systems would boast of intelligent life far above us humans. The technology at their disposal would make the TGV look in comparison like a pushcart. Why then are they not here yet? What are they hiding from? Why haven't they carried off Nicole Kidman, Halle Barry or Aishwarya Rai yet?

I think the difference is that the stereotypical rural whites tend to try to tame nature (fighting beehives with gasoline) instead of putting nature on a pedestal, and fostering a symbiotic relationship, which is so attractive to the political left.Jakobhttp://ranchophotos.comnoreply@blogger.com
