My WND Technocracy column this week is about our willingness to set aside our common sense when it comes to the subject of intelligent life in outer space:

…[If]f the aliens are more advanced, it would pretty damned stupid of us to act as the traveling Amway salesmen of the universe, beaming our address and phone number into the galaxy and asking that people we don’t know stop by for lunch. We’ve even sent them naked pictures of ourselves, as well as a pile of personal data, in the form of a satellite or two whose only job is to let them know who and where we are. You wouldn’t do that on an Internet bulletin board. Why does it become OK when the venue is the Milky Way instead of Craigslist?
