- I know I have seen the effect when a "higher civilization" runs into a
- "less civilized" culture and its effects..
-
- I know for the sake of human culture I would rather be the "higher" than the
- "lower". When we do finally run into/meet/hear of a "alien" culture in the
- stars (SETI and such), we had better be higher or we will loose it..
- Imagine human reservations, not a pretty sight, think of any culture that is
- less storng than another and how it gets bulled around and even exterminated..
-
- I knwo of the scientific and benefits of space research for the short time, but
- what of the long term benefits?
-
- If I sound like a UFO nut or crack pot, I hope I am not..
-
- Quyanna for your time..
