That is just reality. There is no way to know their exact motives. It may be entirely scientific, but in the absence of evidence, it is best to keep an open mind about all possibilities. Just sayin' Prudence would be justified, but our primitive means of defense probably have no impact on a civilization capable of interstellar travel. Projectile weapons and nuclear bombs, all outward signs of tribal dominance and fear. Everyone is always threatened by something. I believe in trying to prepare for every eventuality within reason. Assuming we don't destroy ourselves first -- a big if -- we will probably have more advanced weapons in the future -- laser weapons, particle beam weapons etc. Our problem is we make weapons based on fear, ever more destructive an powerful, because of fear, because we can relate to anyone anymore, its all fear based. We spend over 500 BILLION dollars on defense each year while cancer rips families apart man. We all sense a threat at the drop of a hat, its fear based reasoning. We have so much violence and ugliness. People just wanna get mad and hit someone, destroy something. If they are up there, watching, they are probably dumbfounded how we court our own destruction by the very way we live. True, but it's because of the way the weapons are used. They are just tools. It is men and their motives that need to be reformed, imo. |

From the Sumerian creation story (the roots of the bible) "let him bear the yoke, the task of Enlil, let man assume the drudgery of the god." And so does mankind walk in the footsteps of slavery. Easily persuaded of falseness, easily controlled, easily subdued. |
