Denver's ET Vote: UFO Commission Proposed
Ahhhh ballot initiatives.
The proposal, promoted by UFO conspiracy theorist Jeff Peckman, would create an ET commission charged with drafting "a responsible, common-sense strategy for dealing with issues related to the presence of extraterrestrial beings on Earth."
"It is important because if you're driving down the highway and you saw a crash of a small spaceship and a car or a bus full of kids, you really wouldn't know what to do," Peckman told the Rocky Mountain News. "Do you wait for the hazardous materials experts to show up because of potential contaminants from another solar system? What do you do? People really don't know."
The proposal, Initiative 300, appears on the ballot as follows:
"City and County of Denver Ballot Question Initiated ordinance 300 — shall the voters for the city and county of Denver adopt an initiated ordinance to require the creation of an extraterrestrial affairs commission to help ensure the health, safety, and cultural awareness of Denver residents and visitors in relation to potential encounters or interactions with extraterrestrial intelligent beings or their vehicles, and fund such commission from grants, gifts and donations?" |
It's about time! It's about space! It's about... Oh, never-mind...

Those are aggressive dance moves.| "It is important because if you're driving down the highway and you saw a crash of a small spaceship and a car or a bus full of kids, you really wouldn't know what to do," Peckman told the Rocky Mountain News. "Do you wait for the hazardous materials experts to show up because of potential contaminants from another solar system? What do you do? People really don't know." |
Peckman is saying that people wouldn't know to call 911. Seriously. The average person doesn't know what the HAZMAT signs on the back of a truck means. Do they wait for HAZMAT teams to show up before calling 911 about some random truck that crashes into a bus full of kids? Of course not. Peckman is saying that people are stupid.
Now, if I were a cop and stumbled across the wreck of a spaceship and a bus full of kids, I'd call Fire and Rescue, every other cop in 50 miles, HAZMAT, the Bomb Squad, animal control, the FBI, the Mayor, the Governor, the National Guard, every local and national media outlet I could think of and all my family and friends, in that order. I can't imagine any cop with a lick of sense who wouldn't follow a similar pattern. |

| If this UFO commission were being proposed by space aliens, I'd take idea seriously. Lacking that, this is just another sad reminder of human credulity. |

So can we extrapolate from that a whackaloon ratio. Say 15% of voters in Colorado are completely whacked?
Why do I even ask..?

I wonder, how many "completely whacked" voters there voted against the proposition simply because their preachers told them that belief in space aliens was a form of demonism? |
