The reason is that no matter what one does, there would still be more to tell. My [brilliant] solution to this is to just go forward and if anyone becomes interested they will look it up and learn. I try to give enough background on things that I feel are important for us to know, but on things which, in the end, aren't important, I've been letting them slide. Of course that's my choice on importance and so I'll be right about 50% of the time on coin-flips. When I start missing ALL the coin flips, I'm going gremlin hunting.The Professorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07811807639219365621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019724693487670016.post-8876088402135724462010-03-31T09:04:52.449-07:002010-03-31T09:04:52.449-07:00Hello, Prof.

If the game was fair, your blog would have no reason for being, I'm thinking. The 'fair game' is impeded by government, imo. Blogs like The Big Study and others serve a most useful purpose by slapping the government upside the head. I am reminded of Sallust's quote: " What prevents us from telling the truth, laughingly?"

I think this must be the Hans Petersen ...Hey, Mike,<br />I think this must be the Hans Petersen I met at a UFO conference in Mexico in 1977. He had an abrupt manner and a pronounced impatience with anybody who didn't buy into George Adamski's yarns, which were at the center of Petersen's UFO universe. He was one of the two hardest-core Adamski-ites I have encountered, the other being Adamski's Swiss associate Lou Zinsstag.<br /><br />Having one's memory jogged in this fashion causes me to wonder how many of the younger generation have any but the vaguest notion of who Adamski was. At one point, though it may be hard to believe, he was a huge presence in any UFO discussion. Everybody who was interested in UFOs had an obligation to have an opinion on the man.Jerry Clarknoreply@blogger.com
