The West can't just count on the third world to make its products forever, and we simply can't rely on resources like oil any longer.

However, I must give credit to the European Union in its movements toward a more united and open European society. We can only hope that Europe and Earth turn away from regressive policies of discrimination and 'tradition' and move forward into a truly multicultural, free, and democratic era unmatched in human history. Only then can we be prepared for the impact of contact with a truly foreign intelligence. |

The project is more than worthy of our time and processor cycles. The prospect of 'others', intelligent like ourselves, forces us to think in new ways and brings new perspective and realisation to each individual. If just the concept can do that, imagine what actual contact could do for us, individually and as a whole... |
