Hi Ron,
Hmmm, I think you are treading on dangerous ground here Ron.
I think is is not quite a fair comparison by dragging in Ufology. I
think if you take a hard look at the world in action, you will start
questioning the sanity of us all. Nuclear weapons, biological
weapons,ethnic cleansing, yes,obviously we have evolved from our
ancestors haven't we? Or have we. And since we let this kind of
world exist, because basically we are all too busy to bother, than I
question everyone's sanity and this has nothing to do with whether you
or I think there are UFO's or not.....
