| Personal background |
|---|
| I'm 58, retired and originally from Minnesota but now residing in St. George, Utah. Had to live where I could play golf 12 months a year. After 6 years in the Navy during a little thing called the Viet Nam conflict, I spent 31 years with the phone company beginning in 1969 in a newly emerging field called Data Communications. I'm also am an avid fisherman and bowler. I love jazz and classical music and hiking in this gorgeous state. In the two years I've lived here I have come to believe that Utah overall is the most diverse and beautiful state in the U.S. My one concern is that I see our society raising a generation of people that are told they are not responsible for their own actions. However, I see enough really bright and responsible young people to have complete faith that they will lead us well, well into the future. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
| I am almost a fanatical believer in not only extraterrestrial life, but in intelligent life elsewhere in the universe. After being raised in a "normal" Christian home, I began really learning after I left home. I now firmly believe that every form of life on this planet is simply the end result of time and the elements coming together in a very special way. I see no reason to believe that this couldn't happen on countless other worlds throughout the universe. I have very little patience for people who exhibit the unbridled arrogance that so much of mankind exhibits. They would have us believe that we are so very special and unique in this vastness of space. Have we been visited? Probably. Our understanding of the laws of physics are, in my opinion, simply constained by what we know. The larger question is, do they want to contact US? I believe it is man's destiny to do two things. First, use up the resources on THIS world, which we are accomplishing quite nicely, and second, to explore and settle new frontiers, which means of course, space. Will we render this planet uninhabitable BEFORE we have the technology and get a chance to settle new worlds? Who knows? Very close to 100 percent of all life forms that have ever resided on this little blue rock have come and gone. To become extinct is probably a natural occurance. Will we ever become smart enough to keep the inevitable from happening to the human race? We can only hope. |
