Thanks for voicing your heartfelt opinions.

However, can I interject here?

Who gets to say what I can, or cannot know?

Who gets to say what I am or am not capable of dealing with?

I was under the impression, I guess the mistaken impression, that this
was a free and democratic society.  Of the people, by the people, for
the people.

The people be us.

As soon as information is kept from us, or from our elected
representatives, this is no longer our government.

Let me explain something simple.  Millions of people have taken LSD
and survived the trip just fine.  Our society has surivived being told
for decades that they *would* (not could, but would) die in a nuclear
holocaust in their lifetimes.

Meanwhile, literally MILLIONS of people have witnessed UFOs, and
nowadays hundreds of thousands are having contact experiences.

But *you* choose to decide for *us* that we can't take it?

Tell me baby, just go ahead and tell me.  I took 500 mics of LSD and
got by just fine.  I withstood George Bush and Dan Quayle and surived.

I even survived a senile president who conducted covert genocides with
my tax dollars.

I can take it baby, I can take it.

Give it to me.

A bit of honesty, a bit of freedom, a bit of truth, these are the
things the cynical American craves.

FOX network broadcast a film of an alleged alien being getting
dissected on prime time TV.  They brought forth "experts" to convince
their listener it was real.  They re-broadcast it a week later, with
added gore.  And now it's going to show up in Blockbuster video store
within a few weeks.

The stock market didn't crash.

The world didn't come to an end.

We can take it baby, give t to us.

Make our lives more surreal, because the old way of doing things just
ain't holding up too well.

John
