just to point out something. there is NO WAY that the american and other govs (through nasa) have spent billions of dollars in SETI programs. as a matter of fact, it has had problems raising money to function properly (and it isnt so much in scale). potentially, what could be the biggest discovery in the history of the human race deserves much more than its being given, as the hole space program, that is severely underfunded (compare what nasa gets to what other govt institutions get and its sort of a joke).[/QUOTE]No I'd say that the fact that SETI exists at all, while your health system is in chaos is a joke.
Where are the priorities? What do the children of scientists do if they are ill?
The biggest discovery for the human race would be eternal health would it not?. Immortality? Never dying?
Oh, but that's the domain of religions isn't it.
