I build custom cabinets and fixtures for a variety of places, as well as engage in network related installations, trouble shooting and general PC and server repair, MY hobbies are visual basic programming, hunting White tail Deer,fishing,target pistol and rifle shooting, and playing with my dog Roxy.

Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
1. Of course! the universe is for all intents and purposes endless and unless god has screwed up in royal fashion... we cannot possibly be the only sentient life forms in it. How we humans will discover it? I'm afraid its already happend..the government of course will not allow that information to become public as it would undermine the religous foundation this country was built upon...or so they think. If the government does decide to release the proof it will not be quite as profound as they think. Humans can once and for all see that there is more to the night sky than just stars, for the first time earth can see it self for what it really is..insignificant we are but one of possibly millions of tries god probably made in his quest to create a being in his own image. I submit that god is not infaliable infact I would venture to say that he makes mistakes on a grand scale. Case in point... the duck billed platypus. As children we are told that god does not make mistakes..and we should not second guess him... well think of what god has created... the size and scope of it..and even if he made a mistake only 1% of the time..that still allows for several billion mistakes. As for danger we are in as much danger from ourselves and our own ignorance as we are from a discovery that we are not alone in the cosmos

2.Well I believe that since we are a child race strictly speaking... it is probably wiser to keep our mouths shut and listen...lest we offer ourselves up as a target for a feast for a race whose differences may be so great that we cannot begin to comprehend them.

3. I think tha SETI is a wonderful idea any attempt to further the sum of human knowledge is a noble and intelligent gesture it shows that we are maturing as a race and may someday even hope to eliminate the petty squabbling that now defines humanity as nothing more than a 4 year old that wants the toy no matter who had it first. SETI if continued should make use of all computers in the world as a part of the new internet operating system
