: Have UFOs / Black Helis / Giant Triangles harvested your community lately?
Why did they leave you? Are you less than appetizing? Are you vegetarian? Do
you eat garlic? Do ETs harvest many garlic-eaters? Are vampires really ETs?
@ Why Are There More Questions Than Answers? Throughout recorded history,
non human life forms have interacted with humans. These beings come from
different places. Some are clearly ET and have stated so. Some are other
dimensional beings that have bridged gaps between dimensions. Others have
been speculated as being time travelers. Evidence indicates beings inhabit
underground facilities on our planet. http://www.caus.org/mc030700.htm

@ It's not nostalgia that upsets you when they bulldoze your childhood
sledding hill. It's seeing the hill replaced by a suburban parody of
Leave It to Beaver: http://www.feedmag.com/feature/fr298_master.html
: Has your culture been outlawed, revived, marketed, bulldozed, parodied? Is
your culture all-devouring, mutable, resilient, flexible, protected, French?
# The Maori Art of Moko. Moko -- the traditional body and facial tattooing
of the Maori people of New Zealand -- was lost for centuries. After the
British colonized New Zealand in the 18th century, moko, as well as many
other aspects of Maori culture, were outlawed. But in past few decades,
Maoris have rediscovered their traditions and the tattoos once again are
becoming popular. http://www.npr.org/ramfiles/me/20000301.me.15.ram

# A community of robots. Robot `teams' are being developed to perform tasks
that are too difficult for a single machine to do. The concept was
inspired by the collective intelligence shown by social insects such
as ants and bees. http://www.pioneerplanet.com/news/sci_docs/017282.htm
: Who's your favorite robot? Are the best robots hive-minds? D'ya prefer big
/medium/little/nano robots? Do robots fill all your physical/spiritual needs
& desires? Do your robots have "the light touch?" Are they sensuous? Really?

"The slight pressure between his eyes puzzled Tyler since the telltale
tinkle had told him that his prince-nez had tumbled during their tustle;
the conundrum was clarified when, upon opening his glazed eyes, he discov-
ered the prehensile tip of Freita Mannlicher's marvelous gelatinous tongue
-- the remainder of which snaked up his shirt before reemerging out his
collar -- gently grasping the bridge of his nose." --Raphael X. Reichart

CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soap-boxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds—is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
