Don't forget the big corporations are the government. " The President is very much a figurehead - he wields no real power whatsoever. He is apparently chosen by the government, but the qualities he is required to display are not those of leadership but those of finely judged outrage. For this reason the President is always a controversial choice, always an infuriating but fascinating character. His job is not to wield power but to draw attention away from it." Douglas Adams - Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy

The problem is we have a two party system, with two parties that are pretty much the same. We need a viable third, fourth, or even fifth party to shake things up a bit. Both parties know this and will do anything they can to crush a third party. The purpose of a political party is to take over the government. Disaster happens when one succeeds.

and also if thats the issue, why are there talks about increasing taxes on gas now that the price has finally dropped to a reasonable level? all they are gonna do is continue to demonize big oil, while taking the money themselves.

What do you mean reasonable level? The oil companies started the inflationary spiral with thier fake oil shortages. It should cost 30 cents a gallon. Capitolism is a ponzi scheme.

There would probably be precious little talking to the aliens themselves. Except for those looking at how to take advantage of the aliens. Or how to use the aliens to take advantage of or obtain mastery over other people.

The USA would try to keep it secret, most of us would never know.
