But, anyway, they all came back to their senses, started
shooting at each other and developed many wonderful
weapon systems.

And why is that?

Rhetorical question 1:

Is there some defect in human beings which causes them to destroy that which
they covet?

Rhetorical question 2:

Do ya suppose the aliens know what the problem is?

Rhetorical question 3:

Do ya suppose the aliens have genetically 'tampered' with some human beings?

Rhetorical question 4:

Do ya think they've suceeded in 'breeding' out human kinds self destructive
biology?

Yikes! You caught me off guard with an on topic post... stop it.

Well there's a few people who can handle it, and are curious.  And *IF* they
can handle it, well, then they're more intelligent than George Bush and the
CIA.

Hmmmm.... okay then, riddle me this:

If Bush and his dad's cronies are as evil as you say, and there are indeed
hyperadvanced alien here to provide Wholeflaffer with regular anal sex...
Why haven't these great space brothers done anything about it? They wouldn't
even need to reveal themselves; they could just make key "bad people"
disappear or get head cancer or suffer terminal incontinence. If they're so
fly, and Bush is so naf, why haven't they fixed things.

And PLEASE to truck out that old chestnut about nonintervention; the most
casual of monitering of media would reveal that they've already had a
profound and pronounced effect on our culture. Besides, to do nothing would
be cruel and heartless. It would be as if Europeans; like Bohner for
example, go to a plague ridden area of africa and started telling people,
"Well, I would help you out with medical care, but you're nowhere as cool as
we are, so you need to die out". Is this your concept of an advanced
civilzation? 

Try not to screw this up by saying something stupid.

I'm too humble to say anything.  You just said it for me.
