Journals: Do you believe in aliens?

Humph.

I've always been iffy about this topic. I can believe in ghosts, heck I investigate them, write and read about them and sometimes think I see them.

But UFOs?

I guess there is a difference between the two topics, and I need to recognize that. I was addicted to X-Files, too, but that doesn't mean I think they are real.

I'll tell you what I believe. Other then God, peace and enlightenment.

There are aliens.

But I don't believe that they fly a gazillion miles to flit about in machines and stare at us like some kind scientific experiment. If they have the smarts to make such a machine that can bring them here, they can have the common decency to stop by and say hello. Or do something other then probing our heinies. I just think that something that smart can be so dumb.

But then again, Republicans still exist in this society, so I probably should rethink that. A smart society and those yahoos still exist.

I know, for show there has to be life somewhere out there. Can't not be. To think that we are alone is pure avarice.

But I wonder about their visiting us at all. I just can't work that part out for some reason. Area 51 is a great idea, really, for scifi stories and whatnot, but I doubt it's anything other then really cool spy planes. The inventions of overactive minds.

That's my story for now.

Here's the good part. I'm pretty opinionated, that's for sure. But I am more then willing to change on this one. I can adapt. If someone's got evidence, I'm sure to flip to the other side.

In other words, I want to believe.
