[QUOTE="RobGMN, post: 8905947, member: 683408"] Of course I think about it, and I believe 101% that there is life in the universe other than us. It's almost a mathematical certainty. But at the speed of light, it's a 4-year trip just to get here from the nearest solar system. Why make the trip if you're not going to say hello? And if you are able to travel at the speed of light, you're not gonna need to carve out cow eyeballs, or probe human's anuses, or create advertising for yourself in the form of crop circles. Nor will you want to dilute your own species by creating hybrid children. But ruminating about all the stuff you are obsessed with doesn't pay the bills. It doesn't mow the lawn. It doesn't walk the dog or cook dinner. It doesn't limb and buck the tree that feel in the yard in the last windstorm. It doesn't change the oil. Reality of living day to day takes up more than enough of life that the vastness of space becomes meaningless in the 80-some years I might get on this planet. [/QUOTE]
