I retain my admitted defense mechanism and wonder as well if you've created all this from the incredible intellect you obviously have - maybe to prove to the Hollywood types (so many that sicken me) that mystery, wonder, and entertainment isn't their exclusive domain. If that's the case, well done, well done - that seems reasonable and believable too.
I would guess, and you've already alluded to the parallels between us and ET regarding "origins". Do we all (including the other many forms of life in the universe) come from the same cosmic soup? Does the "same" soup spawn the many different life forms all with souls destined for different "things"? And if you're privy to this: Where in the hell did the "soup" come from?
Does ET wonder and marvel as we do at the scope and grandeur, the mystery of the really "big" question?
The "Big Bang", as you said and I believed since I first heard, even the beginnings of the theory, not right, and the astronomers answers only yield to more questions, more "guesses" to tie it all together.
People in general will become more disciplined and take better care of themselves because the cost of healthcare will force that upon us
Also food will change and taste better minus the fat
Tolerable living is for communist, everyone else should expect better
It’s up to the voters to make better choices on who they put into office
Each of us knows down deep which problems we need to work out or let go of----that’s the purpose of this life

Ok so you're saying that people will come to their senses healthwise due to the cost of healthcare? I can't fathom anything that will lead people to be more disciplined unless theres some cataclysmic catastrophe.
I guess universal health coverage isn't coming any time soon?
Also how is food going to change and taste better? Does ET have some new form of nutrition, or will they finally let us legalize marijuana, which I've "heard" makes food taste a lot better.
Our current system seems to have made voting irrelevant. I'm all for a democratic system, but there is a deep rooted flaw in the way our politicians come to power. Once again, I'll try to refrain from political questions out of respect for your wishes.
Ok, last question. Are we suppose to let go of our ego, is that the main problem we have to work out? For example, does humanity as a whole have to recognize that each and every person is part of the same major plan that we will never be able to grasp while mortal?
Thank You and sorry to be an annoyance, I hope you don't feel like I keep asking you questions just to hear myself talk.

..the cost will be prohibitive therefore they will penalize abusers and will implement strict dietary rules and force people to abide by healthy living habits, or they face reduced privileges and pay deductibles
In the short term the crack down on drug use is going to increase substantially, but as computers take over more of the driving and operating of machinery drug laws will be relaxed, but not for a long time to come

Hi Sleeper
I have heard things about Planet X. Can you verify its existance and its position currently or past/future trajectory? Im sorry if this has been asked before. I made it about 1/2way through all the posts and jumped ahead. I appreciate your replies and sorry if its a duplicate. Thanks

Hi Sleeper,
I would like to be the first to point out that this is the one year anniversary of when this thread started. Sure it might not mean anything tangible, but maybe you can put a good word in for me with ET for being on the ball??
Does this mean further smoking bans? How can ET not allow us to smoke in bars, do they have no sympathy for the human condition?
So we can't smoke in bars and its going to be hard to get good drugs? Why would ET challenge us so? Also most manufacturing jobs in the US are being shipped overseas. The service sector of our economy seems to be all we have left.
Does ET know that its easier for us humans to work with the general public while on drugs (according to "some" people)?
Will they relax the draconian drug laws enforced in the US.
Congratulations on keeping this thread going for a year

Somehow I'm not surprised.

Hi Sleeper,
ET getting tough on drug use seems too much like a mind control situation.
How about ET getting tough on big pharma like Pfizer or Merck, and the truly evil drugs subsidized by our government like crack coc aine, crystal meth, heroin, vicodin, etc?
I'm getting the feeling that we won't have as many freedoms as we do now and that doesn't look to inviting to me. Perhaps I won't be here by that time.

Sleeper I do not know if you have me on ignore.
You said earlier that the ET put mescaline, and other drugs on this earth to test us. Or tempt us. Forgot which word you used. Wouldn't they be contradicting themselves if they then made strict drug laws against marijuana, etc.? I mean why would they even create these drugs or different means for obtaining drugs if they knew they were going to instill strict drug laws prohibiting the use...That doesn't make sense.
Also, why would they ban drugs like pot, yet let big corporations sell xanax, and other harmful synthetic drugs, and alcohol that are very addicting?
