I say that Earth is a "relatively calm place" because compared to 1962 and the Cuban Missile Crisis or World War Two or World War One, we are relatively calm right now. As you point out, there are plenty of dangers and simmering issues occurring right now. I would add the European economic crisis to your list. And I also agree with you that the change in perspective provided by First Contact could be quite helpful to some issues on Earth nearing some sort of resolution, but I also think it would raise a whole set of disturbing new issues. I suppose that may be the natural state of lifeforms in the universe- perpetual conflict and upheaval.Eric Melcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09241965998003676966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5585634015029577378.post-34805092248555806492013-03-13T15:45:41.466-06:002013-03-13T15:45:41.466-06:00What do you mean earth calm place?

If you'd bother to listen to the news you'd realize that the United States of America is dealing with alot of political upheaviles and more conspiricies going on than it's worth trying to fit into this comment. Never mind the fact that right about now there are several countries (including but not limited to China, North Korea, Iran, Russsia) setting up to cause trouble (boy I hope they're bluffing) and references to nucular weapons being involved were made. This is without getting into my opinion of the current President of the United States and the not so great choices that are being made by congress and the senate. Take a good look at the news.<br /><br />Bottom line earth is far from calm, that being said I think for any number of reasons first contact is long over due. There are some issues that are long overdue to be brought to light, and put into perspective that first contact might just put into perspective, and bring light. It might not solve everything, as a matter of fact it will bring up issues that nobody wants to deal with, and through the world into more upheavile than it's already dealing with, but these issues can't be avoided forever.esphttp://espdigiart.comnoreply@blogger.com
