Other than some stranger blatting a bunch of frustrated inanities into a new web log,<\/a> somone who SOUNDS a lot like my darling Red Queen<\/a> (now calm down ReaganI’m not the only one who thinks so.) What is really hilarious is, that whomever this person is actually clams to be a new Rich Remolds! That’s a little like Vladimir Putin claiming to be the Joe Stalin of the 21st<\/sup> century. What a foot bullet!<\/p>\n Not that I blame her (or any of the other characters in the Odd Empire.) It’s got to be maddening that their TV based fantasy worlds don’t just come true. I can only imagine what it would feel like if the evil government suddenly came clean and said, ‘\u201chey good people, yes aliens have been infiltrating the Earth for generations. They have technology we can’t match, they abduct millions of people for foul sexual experiments and anal probes. If your real lucky they’ll just make soup out of you! But, Its OK, your government is negotiating a deal with the aliens. Only 2% of you will be chopped up or sexually assaulted in exchange for us political types getting the secret for better hair growth! A real bargain!”<\/em><\/p>\n Alas, the gritty reality sets in and they realize that the world is pretty much the way it was yesterday, no aliens no vast government conspiracies to poison the air or make their teeth fall out. It’s just life you know? Not aliens. Well, there are LOTS of marketing people and advertisers, those are the real evildoers (*brrr!)<\/p>\n Most notable thing this week? Paul Kimball’s planning to host a UFO Symposium<\/a> in Halifax, Nova Scotia this October.<\/p>\n A UFO Symposium? A wild Greek party where guys in chitons will drink lots of wine, watch dancing girls and flick the dregs at each other?<\/p>\n Oh, you don’t mean that kind of Symposium (rats!) You mean a sober get-together where folks will talk about the state of UFOlogy such as it is. Get to know each other and maybe hove into to the local watering spot for some more spirited conversation.<\/p>\n And the strange thing about all this? So far, not an alien or contactee in sight. That\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s right my incredulous audience! This as yet unnamed Symposium is not about what the strange bug-eyed creatures plunged into someone’s bunghole. It sounds more like a sober, rational look at the state of UFOlogy and how this rather exotic field can be pulled into the scientific community so that some real work can be done.<\/p>\n This mght turn out to be exactly what the woo-woos hate. Actual communication! An exchange of ideas. Leave your egos and pet beliefs by the door kind of stuff. Is that even possible? In this world of reflexive hard-nosed beliefs which do not tolerate descending opinion (narrow mindedness in so many words.) is it possible to that Kimball has the right stuff to make this happen? Can he do all that AND make a profit?<\/p>\n Stay tuned!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Other than some stranger blatting a bunch of frustrated inanities into a new web log, somone who SOUNDS a lot like my darling Red Queen (now calm down ReaganI’m not the only one who thinks so.)
