The point I wanted to get across was that humans tend to contribute to some sort of mythical reasoning behind things they do not understand.

Thankfully not all of them and thanks to those that were able to apply some form of logic rather than fantasy, we all have enough of an understanding of how things work to be able to think for ourselves, how some people choose to use that ability though is a different matter.

It was still an attempt to make a logical and reasoned explanation for something. It may not have been correct, but it was inspired from somewhere. If we aren't so creative to make up airplanes if there were no birds, are we creative enough to come up with "gods" if we hadn't seen something "not us" in our past? I hold that even our myths hold some truths, even if we may be the next age before understanding them again (and our current technology becomes myth to whatever super distant generation there is... assuming we don't wipe ourselves off the planet first).

These conspiracy type things are fun and fun to think about, we know that we are not privy to all that goes on in the world, ofc, but if you want to go down that road there are a lot more things to wonder and worry about than being infiltrated by aliens, lol, try researching GM crops, 50 year water shortage, human cull, and so on .......

Smarter people than us are digging into all of that. The problem is all the conflicting testimony on what the actual promises and dangers are. If only all people were honest and above corrupting influences. That means we can play with the lunatic fringe and speculate on what probably isn't real but could be.

I'd be much more concerned about genetically modified crops if people weren't still eating refined quasi-chocolate and sugar-based foods and drinking carbonated, caffeinated, acidic brown-coloured corn syrup water as their main sources of caloric intake. Or ground beef, for that matter. Unnaturally robust fruits and vegetables just seem a lot less spooky to me than anything with 'high-fructose corn syrup' as one of the top three ingredients.

GM corn could give me nightmares, though. If only because I'm concerned that it might take over the world, without ever getting roasted and buttered on the cob, like I was taught corn should be during high school.

I work for a Hydro Excavation company and one of the things we do is high pressure water jet lines for buildings and we clean out lines for a pepsi plant in Ayer MA and that 'high-fructose corn syrup' mixed with all kinds of nasty shit comes out in a horrible black mess, probably don't want to drink any drink with that stuff in it, you're pretty much drinking black ooze.

[Kathdys]

Let's see, what kinds of black ooze are good to eat... Licorice? Blood pudding? I don't think I could eat much of either of those. I definitely prefer white, green, and orange oozes, like peanut butter, guacamole, and cottage cheese. Purple and red oozes are usually too fruity. Grey oozes tend to burn.
