 CH>>>> Why are we humans so arrogant to assume we  re the ONLY
 CH>>>> sentient life form in the Universe? I find this attitude absurd.

 bk>>>  Well, talk it over with the others and see what they think.

 bk>>>   OTOH, it is likely there are few others we will ever meet, if
 bk>>>   any. The universe is too large, too old, and the conditions for
 bk>>>   intelligent life likely too limited.

 bk>>>  Not only do they have to exist, have to exist close enough to
 bk>>>  us, but also exist at the same time as we do.

 BF>> Does the word "politicans" ring a bell?

 bk>  We were talking about sentient life forms.
