This reminds of an Art Bell open lines a while back. Art Bell can be absolutely hilarious in a very dry humor sort of way. There was some big piece of news regarding UFOs so the question was "What if the aliens aren't here for benevolent purposes?" Art was of a mind that we blast em first, ask questions later. Despite being a typical northern california liberal, I was somewhat inclined to agree!
Is that nutcake still talking about the same stuff? I've gotta listen to him one of these days. I have no idea why I heard him for the first time, but I remember where I lived. For the first two days I actually took him serious. After that we had a fairly long engagement. Maybe 8 months. Not more than once or twice a week, though. I swear.
