    and for everything but the most recent part of human history even if we had been visited we would likely have reacted in one of 3 ways:

    1. What is that kill it and burn it

    3. Grunt grumble scratch hide in cave *MAY BE* draw a crappy picture on the wall with another rock

  16. Re:Weasel words on UPS Denies Helping the NSA 'Interdict' Packages · · Score: 1

    what else could they say. the only scenarios that exist are
    A) they did do it as required by law, and are under gag order to not disclose that it happened
    B) they didn't do it, but would if required by law.

    That's it, they basically just said "we adhere to the law" nothing more nothing less.
