[contemplating aliens, their society, and why people would want to leave
Earth to live in an alien society]

You mean you'd miss being held hostage to wage slavery?

Most New Zealanders work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week.
Australians and New Zealanders are doing better within the past 30
years than ever in know history.

People need food, shelter and clothing in order to live.  On Earth people
are required to pay money to get these things.  People are forced to give
their time and abilities to their employer in exchange for money in order to
buy food, shelter and clothing.  If people do not give their time and
abilities to their employers, they will not survive, they will starve to
death, or die of exposure to the elements.  They have no choice, it's that
way everywhere on Earth.

60 years ago and for 100s and 1000s of years before,
it took 3 hours just to wash and dry some clothes by hand at home.
Finally after about 200,000+ years we invented washing machines.

Even with modern inventions, the above still exists.

The aliens don't use money or have any use for it.

Maybe they use telepathy I.O.U's
Anyway, what species are you talking about ?
Little green ones ? :)

All the aliens visiting here on Earth.  A space faring species would have no
need for money.  Their space vehicle must support their need for food
shelter and clothing or they would not be able to survive in space.

You mean you'd miss George Bush yammering on TeeVee about how we need to
kill more people for profit?

I'd rather see George Bush than AL Gore.
(AL Gore was too soft)

George Bush and Dick Cheney are directly profiting (read making money) from
the death of people.

The aliens don't kill each other or humans.

Did the aliens tell you that?

Yes and I've also observed that.

You mean you'd miss all the starving people in the world because there's an
inequitable distribution of wealth?

If the Africans can't build factories, look after their soil, care for
their vegetation, police much bigger wildlife reserves and parks, etc,
etc, etc....

The African problem is directly related to ignorance and over population.
Learning would help them.  But who's teaching them?

that is their stupid problem.

No, it's our problem, everyone on Earth.

Most of the world's money is in the hands of 2% of the world population.
That's an enormous inequitable distribution of wealth.  How did it get that
way?

Little old poor New Zealand has huge specialist Universities working
on ideas for land care, wildlife and national park care, and large
enthusiastic department of conservation teams to enforce their
agendas.

What about helping others because it's the right thing to do?

I watched a '60 minutes' documentary about Africans going to Europe to
buy cars. The cars were very tidy nice second-hand cars in Europe.
But by the time the cars made it to auction in cities in Africa, every
single car had been dented, vandalized, looted, driven badly and
scraped, by handlers there.
It was very chaotic and funny.
But a total on going mess.

I think that's an indicator that the Africans have a warped sense of need.
How did that happen?

And Dr Greer wants to give billions of people magic technology ?
ROTFL hahah ... no way, not yet.

What would happen if everyone on Earth suddenly was able to manufacture
(replicate) anything they wanted or needed to survive?  Would they build
weapons of mass destruction?  Or would they built fancy cars?  Think about
it.  This is the equivalent of winning a billion dollar lottery -- what
would you do with THAT much money?  Give it away?  Or would you keep it for
yourself like the 2% of the population who has most of the money?

And I'm not being racist.
I have friends from Africa, Japan, India, Germany, etc.

I'm not a racist either.

The aliens provide for all of themselves.

genetic engineered mushroom caterpillar mould croutons ?

Technically, they live in what human beings would define as perfect
communism.  I'm not referring to what humans think of communism, because
there's never been a communistic government on Earth -- not even China or
Russia.  In communism, there are no leaders, no government -- everyone
supports each other's existence and their own.  In communism each individual
works for the common cause: survival, advancement and preservation.

etc. etc. etc.

I wouldn't miss Earth at all, except the beauty of the natural environment.

Well, if you ever get time off from UFO kook rants....
check out Queenstown, New Zealand.
(it is better than the photos)

Earth is a natural beauty, and human beings are just part of it all.  

Beam me up Scottie! <grin>

Merry Christmas !
