Luminari,

Thanks for you contributions, I have benefited from many of them. I am rather deeply involved in disclosing the ET presence at a grass roots level. I have friends who's kids laugh at them and a mother-in-law who thinks the whole UFO thing is nuts. I'm also fortunate to have a great deal of support from people who know I'm not crazy and have seen what I've seen. However, as near as I can tell, the majority of the population have been convinced by constant ridicule of the subject in the mainstream media that UFOs are baloney and anyone who "believes" in them is a kook. At least in this forum most people are seeking the truth, even if they have widely varying ideas on what that means. Get out in the real world and the thought of making any real progress is indeed daunting. That doesn't stop me from trying, although I'm quite selective in how I go about it. I don't intend to quit.

Is this forum really important? You wouldn't think so from the view counts, but my intuition keeps me here in spite of the silliness that goes on from time to time. It will pass. People say unkind things about people I respect and admire from time to time. I think that's unavoidable given the amount of disinfo out there. Sometimes I put in my two-cents, sometimes I stay quiet and hope the thread drops out of sight quickly. I don't feel like it's up to me to protect anyone's reputation.

The level of education needed in the world goes far beyond who's right and who's wrong in their various predictions, and which whistleblowers have the best inside information. People need to learn to forgive so we can stop having endless wars. People need to learn compassion so the hungry are fed and the helpless are protected. People need to learn that we're all in this together. And much more. Impossible? Call me crazy, but I believe it can be done. Hang in there. We're just getting started.
