Canadian Ex-Minister Calls For Serious ET Study

Nom du Keyboard writes "A former Canadian Minister of Defense and Deputy Prime Minister wants Canada to hold public hearings on Exopolitics - relations with Extraterrestrials - to avoid the possibility of intergalactic war. Unfortunately he also proposes starting a 'Decade of Contact', which seems to mean spending a whole lot of public money on UFO education. Is he on the right track here, that we can't afford to ignore the rest of the Universe any longer?" From the article: "The United States military are preparing weapons which could be used against the aliens, and they could get us into an intergalactic war without us ever having any warning ... The Bush administration has finally agreed to let the military build a forward base on the moon, which will put them in a better position to keep track of the goings and comings of the visitors from space, and to shoot at them, if they so decide."

    I somehow doubt these hypothetical aliens will give a fuck about you waving your pathetic American flag. Maybe they will just exterminate the lesser species on Earth and rid us of the USA.

    It's just Bush afraid of Jesus second coming! Not fun to meet the boss when you have shown how much you hate him. Better be prepared to take him out before he steps into the oval office and start spanking Dubya!

    It's not "pure crackpottery"... didn't you see that popular documentary that came out several years back? IIRC, it was titled "Men In Black." You should be able to find a copy in your local video store.

    Paul Hellyer is certifiable.

    He's not only an "ex-Minister" but a man who was so left-wing lunatic he was actually EJECTED FROM THE PIERRE TRUDEAU *spit* LIBERAL *spit* PARTY. This, may I remind people, is the party that took in that rat-bastard PET because he was in turn too far-left for the NDP.

    Hellyer actually managed to distinguish himself as the biggest embarassment in Trudeau's cabinet, even succeeding such total idiots and dangerous criminals as Marc-Andre Lalonde and Jean Chretien. (Or the rat-bastard himself... thank the Lord he's dead...)

    Americans looking for Paul Hellyer's reputation should imagine a man who's as far left of Ralph Nader as Nader himself is of Neil Boortz or Ann Coulter. Then on top of that add the most lurid meglomania outside of North Korea, a brain roughly three quarters the size of Keira Knightley's, and the paranoid delusions of the biggest tin-foil hat owner on the planet. He makes Libby Davis and Carolyn Parrish seem positively SENSIBLE by comparison.
