And thanks again for mentioning my post on your list.<BR/><BR/>Anonymous (why Anonymous?) - Those are great ideas but can you now ask your imagination to describe exactly how you would go about convincing those people to follow your idea? This requires imagining all the reasons they would refuse such as: those protesting port & airport workers would lose their jobs then what would they live on? And: the arms dealers and manufacturers make tons of money: why would they agree to lose such a cash cow? So it's not enough to imagine a good idea, you need to imagine how to overcome the resistance which will inevitably occur.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24746593.post-73934156838216534872009-01-15T11:48:00.000+00:002009-01-15T11:48:00.000+00:00All the port and airport workers in the world shou...All the port and airport workers in the world should refuse to load and unload ships carrying weapons.

How would you convince people (especially the sides who are fighting) that there was a real invisible UFO on the scene watching them and communicating? How would you move the idea from the inside (the fantasy in your brain and ours) into reality?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24746593.post-27451826343149973692009-01-11T14:29:00.000+00:002009-01-11T14:29:00.000+00:00I think an inflatable UFO, or a hologram UFO, or e...I think an inflatable UFO, or a hologram UFO, or even an invisible UFO might be ok because no Earthling knows what a UFO looks like. In fact an invisible UFO would be the best for it would show that superior scientic technology was here.

Please do!<BR/><BR/>Poet in Residence: well if the UFO is convincing enough, it might distract the fighters from their fighting temporarily. But unless it could be built to actually sweep them up into outer space (not a bad idea), I fear they will revert to the killing fields.Natalie d'Arbeloffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07757081405040926647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24746593.post-87955301081107181842009-01-09T19:04:00.000+00:002009-01-09T19:04:00.000+00:00We could send a radio message from a blurry UFO so...We could send a radio message from a blurry UFO somewhere in a blurry desert: "We have landed on planet Earth to repair our ship. We will leave planet Earth as soon as we can. Please don't kill us. We repeat. We are here on a peaceful mission. We will leave soon. Please don't kill us.
