| Personal background |
|---|
I have just transitioned from the United States Army. I worked logistics and enjoyed it. I am 29 years old and was in the service from 93 to Jan 2003. Just a few of my hobbies include Role-playing games, computer design and repair, web page design, cross stitch, crochet, reading and writing. I have started three books but have yet to finish any of them. There are plenty more but those are the major ones. I like the idea that I am a part of something constructive rather than destructive, as so many things in today's society are just that, destructive in one way or another. It would seem there is no way around it. I am pagan and very proud of this fact. My pagan beliefs give me a strong sense of respect for all forms of life, as I believe everyone should have. I am married with two wonderful children and enjoy only one thing above a good cup of coffee and a good book, and that is spending time with my family(and yes, Tad, that includes you :-) ).

| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
| The existence of extraterrestrial life is a puzzling thought, are they really there? Do we scare them as much as they seem to scare us? Are they searching for us too? While all of these are the normal drone of questions, I don't try to find answers for most of them. I believe there must be something out there, though I don't know what, or who. I believe a line I heard in a movie sums it up quite well. "If we are the only ones out here, there sure is an awful lot of wasted space." I don't recall which movie it was from, but I recall that line clearly. I liked it. The discovery of other life forms I think is inevitable, but I also think that perhaps we are going about it a little wrong. Everyone assumes that an alien lifeform will be more advanced than we are. Why is that? They had to start somewhere too? Have they progressed to the point we have? Maybe and maybe not. They could still be in what we would comparatively call "caveman days". It would seem that most want to assume also that their intelligence will surpass ours. Why? I think it is all possible, on both sides of the argument. I would like to think that we are the superior race in the universe, but I have also learned that man is rather stupid when it comes to some of the more important things. Think about it, he is constantly building something that will help destroy what is left of himself. Create to destroy. Live to kill. Ensure the touch of a button will make mankind extinct because the leader of another country called you a name or disagreed with your idea. These are children's games for adults that have yet to grow up and stop playing the "she's got cooties" games. "He hit me first" and "you started it" are all things that it would seem run the race to destroy humanity and what is left of the planet. While I, personally, want to know if there is other life, I think it might be a bad idea to broadcast such thing on the CNN nightly news. Man fears what he doesn't understand or can't control. |
