Kyle,

Good post and it did help me understand more of your viewpoint
(and perhaps even Mr. Lehmberg's).

Point taken. I will be more careful. I admit that I have a
really difficult time with emotional (irrational?) thought, both
the understanding of it or the creation of it by myself. Because
of this failing in me, I will confine my remarks to meaningful
posts directly related to UFOs because I do not want to tread on
toes of those with more time invested in this forum.

In the case of my response to your original email, there was
_really_ nothing to be gained by anyone by my post. It was not
necessary for anyone to know the practicalities. And while I
would not go as far to think of myself as a wet blanket, I think
in retrospect that it missed the entire point of your original
post, which was mainly the crafting of an inspirational dream.

I think you are right that we need such dreams to motivate us, I
lost mine a while ago when I discovered how deadly dangerous
space was and how stupid it would be to go there, especially if
you want McDonalds and warm baths.


Regards,

James
