Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
1. I would hope that there is extraterrestrial life. If there isn't, then there is awful lot of wasted "space" out there. I'm hoping that ET's will find us as we'll probably not have the technology to find them for the next few hundred years or so. Benefits are enormous and probably beyond our comprehension as a species. Dangers, have you seen ID4? I'm sure Will Smith won't be saving the day though.

2. If the beacon doesn't require additional funds or take away from already taxed resources then sure. What information we send out should be agreed upon by the globe not a nation.

3. I run SETI@Home to further help the cause. I've been running it since the early beta days on the Mac platform. I am a Planetary Society member and SETI is a big Planetary Society function.
