exopolitics?
Perhaps the most important conference you will ever attend is happening in my backyard.
Ok, no not really, but with all of the truly offensive political stuff hitting the news lately I thought I'd post this because it's just....neat (that, and it complements my user icon :P)
"Paradigm Research Group is pleased to announce it will bring together in the Washington metro area the most powerful group of speakers ever assembled to focus on the governmental, political and media aspects of 50+ years of extraterrestrial engagement and societal denial." And I believe them - not necessarily that they're going to expose anything, (and the more I'm exposed to this subject, the more I suspect there's nothing to expose), but that they've gotten together a virtual who's-who of UFOdom. I've read books by over half their speakers, so I can say that the "tinfoil hat" factor runs the gamut from sober, well thought out research to wild Martian coverup theories and truly entertaining paranoia.
Am I going? Probably not, given the price tag, but it should be interesting. Seriously, look at it like this: either the government is wasting taxpayer money chasing a fairytale, or the government is spending taxpayer money on stuff they won't tell us about (yeah, I know, what's new?) Either way it makes a really good story!
