thanks samantha - I was going to use the china argument - if you've never
been there and touched it - how do you know it physically exists.
There is as much 'proof' for china as there is for ufo's - in fact the
physical proof of ets and their DNA already exists from a strand of hair
analysed after an abduction in australia etc
Its a form of debate called Logical Realism 'touch verification theory' and
in the case of ufo's [with miles of camcorder footage from all over the
planet - really massive compilations of footsge, archaeological evidence
etc] - is used out of context here on this list.
There's nothing wrong with trying to be rational - but much in the same way
that we should run with the inductive hypothesis that there is a place
called china - and see where it leads - see where the conspiracy is - so we
should be running with the not very vast conjectural leap that there are
ETs - and see where that leads - where the conspiracy is.
Lets all rationally analyse the belief system that there are ETs colluding
with government agencies - an analysis prevented by the denial of ETs.
