- Olav, I can't argue with the tennets of your comments. I only wish
- there was some simple solution. Unfortunately, there is not.
- Consider:
-
- There are peddlers of snake oil in the area of UFO's just as in any
- area of human interest.
-
- There are many people who have had many extraordinary experiences.
- Some clearly related to seeing solid objects and strange beings. Some
- clearly related to poorly understood human phenomena. Most, somewhere
- in between.
-
- There have been many shallow and transparent official government
- attempts to hide unexplainable events. The blessing of the FOIA has
- revealed many.
-
- Government sponsored, funded, and highly organised debunkery cannot be
- dismissed. If I was a government agent in a position to run it, I
- would certainly do it. And I would do it in a subtle, subversive,
- agressive, and wide ranging manner. I don't expect anything less of
- the real authorities.
-
- In our progressively anti-humanist, sophmoric society, many people are
- grabbing the mantle of debunkery as a measure of their identity and
- self-worth. They are not being humble or mature about it.
-
- The combined efforts of the official and sociopathic debunkers is often
- devastating to the timid reporter of unusual personal experiences.
-
- The obnoxious responses of people like Gene and Deb, though a self
- defensive response at first, actually becomes a valuable tool in creating
- a little breathing room for less aggressive people with personal
- experiences to go public with then.
-
- I wish it didn't have to be this way, but it seems to be. So, it works...
