Here is a little thing from the CSICOP site:
quote:
Broadcast on CNN, the July 1, 2003 installment of "Larry King Live" was a sight to behold. The program, in King's words, explored "the incredible events of 56 years ago at Roswell, New Mexico." What most likely crashed at Roswell in 1947 was a government spy balloon, but the panel of guests assembled on King's show preferred a more lurid version of events. Jesse Marcel, Jr., son of a Roswell intelligence officer, claimed that just after the crash, his father showed him bits of debris that "came from another civilization." Glenn Dennis, who worked at a Roswell funeral home at the time, said a military officer called him to ask about the availability of small caskets (i.e., for dead aliens). Later Denis, obviously a UFO enthusiast, observed out of nowhere that the pyramids in Egypt had recently been "[shut down] for three or four days and no tourists going out there on account of the sightings."

Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.
Why not question something for a change?

"We are all connected; to each other biologically, to the earth chemically, to the rest of the universe atomically."
"So you're made of detritus [from exploded stars]. Get over it. Or better yet, celebrate it. After all, what nobler thought can one cherish than that the universe lives within us all?"

I just don't figure Larry King's format (if there is one.) He'll have incredibly good guests (like Bill Maher, or great artists, film makers, interesting politicians...) and then he'll fly off into "yaya land" with goofs and dim-bulbs like Dr. James Dobson, Roswell believers, or the excretable John Edward.

Diversity, independence, innovation and imagination are progressive concepts ultimately alien to the conservative mind.
