I think it's pretty arrogant to think earth would be the only experimental lab for life. Whatever force creates life (no getting into religious argument here) surely wouldn't be unique to this planet. I'm hoping there are really amazing beings somewhere. Not those drab little skinny grey things but something beyond our imaginings that swoop in and gather Martian blueberries in light baskets for picnics bathed in light from another sun. Glad to see some familiar faces posting in the last day or two. I miss you guys. Even when I don't understand what the message is, I feel massaged. (Anyone know what I'm referring to?)
