Extraterrestrial
Without a doubt, there arelife forms that exist in other
solar systems.
How do I know this? To put it simply, the inhabitants of planet Earth don't know enough to verify otherwise.
Try to imagine what the ultimate technological advancements will be for the human species. Maybe someday we'll start installing our cell phone/iPods directly into our ears. And maybe parents will opt to have identity chips injected into their newborns so they'll be able to find their children in the event of a kidnapping. And maybe the benefits of maintaining a healthy body weight will become so important, we'll figure out a way to nourish ourselves via pills alone.
Sometimes I feel we're working at great lengths to attain a common goal that has yet to be defined. Apparently, everyone agrees that if we send a few people out to bounce around on the moon, that's significant progress... which leads to what? Being able to fly at the speed of light? Maybe. I don't know - but who does?
At this point, plastic surgery is considered to be the next best thing to drinking from the 'fountain of youth' which, I guess we're all thirsty for?
If evolution really is the survival of the fittest, at some point form & function will unite. Have you noticed that our depiction of any given alien looks exactly like our depiction of any other given alien? Big brains that think big thoughts. Super-skinny bodies that do whatever needs to be done. No ears because telepathy is actually attained through sound chips installed at birth. Enormous blinkless eyes that witness and record everything ever seen.
What exactly are we striving for?

Howdy, was sent your way from Marisol's place. I like your site, very nice. I think we have the same taste in music too.
Rock on.
Rock on.
Visting from Marisol's as well.
This post was thought provoking. By chance are you Aquarius? We often think of the big picture.
