If You’ve ever wondered why no highly advanced, intelligent life forms have stepped forward to introduce themselves, take a look out your front door. Earthlings have to be the most ignorant, embarrassing, snickered about species to ever inhabit a solar system. We are trashing not only our own back yard, but our front yard, and the streets surrounding our home as well! Our once pristine oceans are turning into bubbling cauldrons of noxious, toxic slop. The majestic trees which cleanse and renew our life’s breath are being shaved from the land masses. We can’t launch a missile without it being damaged by the space garbage we’ve carelessly left orbiting our home. That has GOT to make a nice looking first impression. And don’t even get me started on all the junk vehicles we abandon anywhere we land!

That’s right, we are our own worst nightmare. We are the “Cousin Eddie” of “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation”. We arrogantly park our piece of shit RV in the driveway of a beautiful home, and proceed to proudly pump our stinking sewage into their storm drain.

Now given the option, would you welcome a life form of this character to your planet, or avoid them like the filthy, dirty, disease infested slime that they are?

I know what I would do. I’d exterminate the greedy, selfish, destructive little pricks the first chance I got,,, especially if they gained the ability of interstellar travel. I’d quarantine the whole species like the virus that we are, or grind “em into a grease spot with the heel of my boot.

Well guess what? We have an exploratory space craft that will soon be reaching the mind numbing distance of thirteen billion miles from earth. (Well,, in twelve years or so, which is soon when you”re my age) NASA is understandably quite proud of this, and is even conducting something called, “Plasma Wave” experiments at this distance, and on a forty-some year old, unmanned vehicle! Hats off to those boys, that’s impressive. They must have some sort’a fancy slide rule to pull off slick stuff like that. Hell,, they even shot some explosive device into a comet fairly recently,,, just to see what would happen! They hit this comet at a distance of 700 gazillion miles out, (plus or minus several hundred million miles or so) and got photos from a camera on the nose of the “bullet”, all the way in. And, don’t forget the comet is moving a good clip also, I heard those comets are kinda quick.

Just thinking of that kind of technology makes my brain go bouncing around in my skull like a pinball on poppers. But when the bells stop ringing, and the smoke clears… I still gotta wonder… why?

If only we expended these kind of resources, (brains, time, money, etc.) on some of the ongoing problems we have on Earth, we might not look like such a bunch of freaking morons trying to fornicate with a football! Hell, just to implement the renewable energy devices that have to be in use, would stop a few wars right NOW.

How hard can it be to feed a few million hungry people, when you’re playing with “Plasma Waves” remotely, from thirteen billion miles, on a fifty year old vehicle?

I don’t know about you, but I keep looking up expecting to see the big boot heel coming down from the sky.
