Will they ever land?
Theyve been here for years!
And .. take us over?

Our Solar System is already a protected game preserve in a vast intersteller empire of an alien species.

We are like the chimps of the Gombe Stream game preserve.
The UFO crews are like park rangers, with a few jane goodall-type long term researchers observing our species in its protected environment.

As long as they dont have a change in zoning laws and decide to flatten our solar system to build a cosmic walmart we are okay.

In fact the aliens have done a great job, not only in keeping out poachers and developers, but theyve manage to protect us from ourselves which became an urgent priority for the Aliens when we learned to split the atom in 1945! ( its no accident that the year we started to see flying saucers was 1947- They had to beef up their custodial staff for earth at the dawn of the atomic age.)

John E. Mack, one of the most awesome psychiatrists who ever lived, speculated that aliens are alive and well and living in our heads! Seriously, he researched this more than any other doctor and said that aliens are non-physical entities that can manifest into the material realm through the mind.

Right. A common delusion of many schizophrenics.

And you think speed of light is necessary, because?

Too late. They landed near Grover's Mill N.J. on Hallowe'en night, 1938.

It's not very nice to make fun of people. Is there some anti-asshole medication you can take for that?

Besides, I may not be schizophrenic after all. Bi-polar disorder can cause delusions as well as schizophrenia. I can't get anyone to commit to a diagnosis. One therapist said I just need to have faith and that I might just be gifted. So f**k you sand. At least I try to improve myself whereas I doubt you ever even went to see a shrink because you think you know everything already. That is the worst delusion of mankind, to believe that one is better than everyone else.

I didn't accuse you of anything. Merely a general statement about schizophrenics.

Sand, I bit my tongue too many times. You insult people, but perhaps you don't realize it because you are too autistic.

A general statement about schizophrenics does not insult anybody. If you identify yourself with that group I cannot help you but it is not an insult, it is merely a recognized fact.

You know full well that one shrink was in the process of diagnosing me with schizophrenia. Am I right, or delusional in believing that? I have personal PM's to prove it.

I had no idea you might be schizophrenic. But please look at my comment neutrally. I merely made a general statement about schizophrenics. It's a well known fact that they hear voices and have strange fears. I am sorry if you suffer this way but it is not an insult to be sick, merely a personal difficulty. If I don't perceive the world the same way you do, don't condemn me for my differences.

LOL

You are either going senile or you are deluding yourself, I choose to believe the latter.

As we both seem to suffer the difficulties of clear self analysis I will accept a bit of both.

Self analysis eventually will hit a brick wall. We need to accept advice from time to time and temper that with faith in oneself.

I am suspicious of all faith and especially faith in myself. Brick walls are the most common objects in any landscape.
