well, this is not really anything new. The US holds the whole world as its
backyard, at least they try to.

THE EVIDENCE:
Have you ever heard of a movie called "Missing"? This is a 1982
nonfiction movie, with Jack Lemmon and Sissy Spacek. Unless you fear
your beliefs can be shaken by a simple movie, I dare you to watch it.


nice to not quote the next sentence he wrote. I quote it for you:

The "evidence" is far too vague and weak to be consistent with the reported
quantity and quality of aledged encounters.

I'm not saying this is all false, just that there is not nearly enough to
convince me otherwise.

Doug, my sister has been tortured by the military while she was
"missing". She gave birth in jail. She and her son are exceptional in
that she survived and he wasn't taken away. Nobody in the world denies
this kind of things happened, not even the militaries. The democratic
government that followed recognized the state did wrong and payed her
and countless outher survivers money in damages. Last week our
president publicly asked for forgiveness in the name of the State.

You compare my country's well documented and universally accepted
history and my own family's history to a bunch of ufo sighters, which,
by the way, are by no means exclusive of South America?

Doug: you are a despicable asshole.

The point of that post was to satire the rather persistant
lack of documentation. With what you have presented so
far you may be correct and accurate or a Turing machine

Doug: you are a despicable asshole.


With a sense of humor.

Wow -- THIS thread is still alive? This may be a new record! I'd
forgotten all about it...

(Of course, I'm not sure the tone of this series of posts counts as
"life"... ;-)

I'm sorry, it's my fault. I promise I'll let this "zombie" rest in peace!
Over and out.
