Profile: Casey Sullivan

Personal background
I'm a 25 year old computer programmer from the Toronto, Ontario, Canada area (Pickering to be presise). My hobbies include watching Star Wars movies, collecting Star Wars toys, playing with Star Wars Lego, playing Star Wars video games, reading Star Wars books and comics, drawing Star Wars characters and playing Star Wars RPGs.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
1. Yes, extraterrestrial life exists (albeit might not be intelligent or even multi cellular). I am almost 100% possitive that humanity will discover this information during my life time, so somewhere in the next 51 years, assuming I live to the standard male age of 76 years. We will discover this by one of the many tools available to us, but it will most likely be found by intercepting a message from another intelligent species or by using next gen telescopes to analyse the atmosphere's of distant earth like planets. The possible benefits to this find are the demise of religion and the coming together of all humanity as a single species. Dangers include religious zealot's going on a "demise to science" rampage.
2. Yes, humanity should transmit a "beacon" singal. Information that should be transmitted should include a decoder for our information, followed by our "first principle's" knowledge, then information about our society.
3. I run SETI@home cause most times my computer is just wasting electricity while I watch Star Wars or Dragon Ball. I think the SETI project is great, but it would be much better if the governments of the world would get away from their religious "morals" background and spend much more money on the pursuit of science and technology.
