I am pretty tired of hearing this spurious argument over and over again: the bulk of the astrology stuff in a year outweights by far anything that is published in astronomy, and astronomy has never been so popular. You are faulting ufology for being perceived as fringe territory. Hogwash. The most damage comes from the alledged scientists who read the smelly manure excreted with pseudo-competent geek talk and choose to remain silent. Science is not at fault. Scientists are. The same alleged scientists, who are the first to beat to death a case suffering from the Planet Venus syndrome, become strangely mute when rubbish gets published by Popular Mechanics or CSISOP. This is the pure cowardliness of choir boys who are there to serve, ever so grateful to be part of something larger than them, even if this means contributing to a big lie. Faulting ufology is a cop out: it merely serves as the lamest excuse to desecrate your lab uniform, making you a rat in the process. I don't care if so many people in the field are crackpots. My God, crackpots are everywhere. How do you think the planet got into this mess? Because of obsessive-compulsive competence? And we should do nothing because, poor us, greed has trumped honesty? When scientists don't decry the CSISOP and PM B.S., they are, in a sense, like those child molesting priests. Pious hypocrites. And they have NO excuse. Vincent Boudreau Listen to 'Strange Days...
