Wolfgang, why not just wait until your bad mood passes before saying crummy things like that? How would you know that "I alone" like what Amos said? You are making grand assumptions, and they come across as snide and superior. You're saying, "Look how much wiser I am than that fool, Little Hawk". That is what Skeptics do all the time to other people, and that's why I really do not like their attitude.

I don't KNOW that there are alien ships that have visited the Earth. I just think it fairly likely that there have been, that's all.

I do know that most people have a strong resistance to change, and to new information that they didn't think of themselves. Conservatism is natural in people, and in animals too (I say that from a long acquaintance with pet dogs and cats...they hate and deviation from acquired habit, and almost always resist it strenuously).

Mental habits are just as tenacious as physical ones. The skeptic is someone with very strongly set mental habits that he has allegiance to, and he seeks endlessly to defend them. All people seek endlessly, in fact, to defend their strong mental habits. You do. I do. Everyone does.

I'm not asking you to believe in anything I believe in (or think probable), I'm just asking you to show more respect to other people, that's all.
