You listen to it and watch it. What do you think because everyone has an opinion. I really hate politics, but it is a neccessary evil. And much of it doesn't even seem logical. We have a potential candidate for president (well, not really, but he plays one on TV) He is asked a question and then hangs himself. It is the impossible question. Did you see a UFO? I mean are you now officially ending your politcial career by anwering this question truthfully?? Are you a quack? An imbecile? The same answer apparently answers all of these questions.
People somehow take his answer as this: I saw a UFO full of aliens that were here to give me a message. If 14% of the country saw a UFO then we have a major problem. We need to recruit mental health professionals by the bundle. Conclusions are basically put into the mouths of the truth tellers. The conclusion is that aleins are invading and that the person who "saw" it is without a doubt insane.
Did he see something unusual? Yes. Did he say they were aliens from Zeta Reticuli? No. The fact is that there are many qualified sightings of unidentified flying objects. Enough said. I'm not here to go into that just yet, but the aftermath of this is uncalled for. I guess he should have lied. Was it stupid, courageous, or just honest?
Here is the contradiction. If he was asked if he believed in an invisible man in the sky that will save us and give us eternal life, what should his answer be?? We apparently can deal with one supernatural ideology, but we can't do anything but snicker and chuckle when it comes to weird stuff in the sky.
We seem to be in this loop that when a UFO "flag" comes up we act a certain way. We are programmed to reject, make fun of, ridicule, and seek therapy. Of course we know that there certainly couldn't be life elsewhere. And God forbid, he saw a military craft or a balloon or a hoaxed UFO and actually told the truth about it( that being he didn't know what it was). But there seems to be another "flag" that goes up when we say God. God is here to help. When things go bad we pray. The president actually prays. I'm sure that does a lot of good. We seem to clearly be programmed differently for this word "God" than we are for UFO.
I think it will take the discovery of life on Mars or a solar sytem moon to change this programmed response. People are clearly uncomfortable with aliens, but are completely comfortable with God. And why shouldn't they be. It sure seems nice, heaven and all the puffy clouds and the big gate. We're not so sure about the aliens though.
