Cost of 10 seconds of nurses time: GBP 1.00

Don’t be so bloody condescending. The fact that I’m old does not make me automatically gaga; some of us old fools still retain the capacity for original thought.

In all of this increasing angst, you’re all ignoring a salient point; if “aliens” have mastered the ability to travel across eye-watering (to us) distances, they almost certainly have the capacity to eradicate (or, at best, enslave) the human race, if they so desire. That they haven’t indicates a greater level of “humanity” than that displayed, over thousands of years, by the humans here on earth. Maybe they return, at irregular intervals, to check on our stumbling progress at space travel, but, so what, if they display no hostile intent? The time to worry will be when we learn to work together (fat chance,) stop killing ourselves, and head off into space, undoubtedly carrying weapons; until then my inadequate pension will occupy my mind, thank you.

It is hardly of relevance to the majority, anywhere, and particularly here, I would have thought.

If you think rampant corruption, any where, doesn’t matter, we obviously have a long way to go.
