With apologies to Kuato… Open your mind. Open your mind! Open your mind!

Quote of the Day:

I’ll admit that I wasn’t excited about running the initial story of the mysterious sightings when it came to us last week. I was even less excited the next day when I opened the paper and saw the word “UFO” in the headline. (That’s what I get for leaving the office early.)
At first glance, I screamed. Then I said a couple of bad words. I’m not a fan of tabloids and I was worried that we looked like one.

Since the story broke, and spread across the world, I’ve been contacted by four editors in the country congratulating me for having the “guts” and “good sense” to go with the story.
“You are listening to what the citizens are telling you, and newspapers don’t do much of that any more,” one wrote.

    1. Brit Conservatives
      But Kat, Brit Conservatives are only loyal as long as the money is rolling in.
      The economy is becoming shaky here. Bankers? In some commentaries the ‘B’ has already been replaced with …
      Well, I’m too much of a gentleman.

      I’m fanatical about moderation

  1. Sci-Fi Event Horizon
    I’ve been meaning to write a blog on a similar topic to the Sci-Fi ‘Event Horizon’ story, so it’s probably worth briefly commenting on it.

    I agree with the author in many respects, but I think he still sets very mundane limits for sci-fi, by not embracing topics on the edge such as those we cover here. I think modern sci-fi should be looking seriously at storylines based on consciousness research (including ‘fringe’ ideas), moved forward to a millennium. Add to that other ‘fringe’ ideas, such as alternative evolutionary ideas (not creationism, by the way), and you’d have some heady stuff IMO.

    Kind regards,
    Greg
