I read the article as tongue-in-cheek, like if you look at the kooks who
believe in ID, it only adds credibility to those of us who don't put stock
in it. In that same spirit, I wonder if we have an ASA member who would
like to serve as a Raelian ambassador. Shouldn't be hard, just sit by a
red phone and wait for it to ring next to a landing site with "Welcome to
Earth" on it written in Raelian. Should beat sitting on an oil rig in the
North Sea ...
