I would rather have the pope agreeing to baptize space aliens than trying to get the UN to con countries into redistributing wealth-I realize a lot of his life has been spent in a socialist country-but it isn’t exactly a popular idea with most of us, and it makes him look way more out-of-touch than the alien remark.
Considering that we don’t have a method of propulsion fast enough to get us out of our neighborhood/solar system and back in a lifetime, and it may also be the case with beings someplace else, if they do exist-I doubt it will be anything to consider anytime soon...
Clinton was talking aliens on Letterman not that long ago.
Lots of chatter in high places lately on the subject.
Maybe they know something we don’t.
Could the next “wag the dog” be of the extra terrestrial kind?
