Why Microsoft is required to put a browser selection list at all is beyond me- do we require Toyota to offer GM, Ford, or Chrysler wheels when selling new cars? I see it as the same issue.
According to sources, horse drawn carriage makers are complaining. "'"We don't like the Ford Model T selling at $850.00," they said. "But we think it really devalues transportation, and it hurts all the retailers of the horses and carriages.'"
'"We don't like the Edison model of selling electric lights," Captain Ahab said. "I think it really devalues home lighting, and it hurts all the hunters of whales."
Has anyone considered the historical evidence of what happens when superior civilizations encounter lesser ones?
The Native Americans, the Mayans, the Incas, the Australian Aborigines, the tribes of South America, the natives of Pacific Islands, to name a few, all cry out to humanity to avoid at all costs encounters of the first, second, and third kinds.
We have no reason to expect anything but annihilation from advanced alien races-
either they are truculent and violent like we are, or they will destroy us as a service to the rest of the galaxy.
We do not wants aliens to find us!
