Anyway who is to say that another life form would be friendly ? They may see us as a bunch of walking hot-dogs sitting on a gold mine !!

At least that would unite people I guess !!


Oh me and my bleak view of humanity !

Well,like I said,at the rate we are going,it will be a long time.

If we encounterd a superior race of creatures that wanted us dead...well then we are kinda screwed.But we all are anyway(unless you have an anti-death machine...)

Amazing in this 'modern' age that our life expectancy is so low...I would rather enjoy the prospect of having a few hundred years to learn and master guitar.
