What if aliens were to make contact—do we have an E.T. contingency plan?
Kinda? Maybe? Could be? Never know?
Officially, the answer is no. What the pentagon has drawn up, is possibly another story. Who knows what secret contigency plans the pentagon has.
What I find interesting are the comments from Stephen Hawking:
believe that contact with intelligent aliens would end badly for us—we'd be the Native Americans to the alien Europeans. "I imagine they might exist in massive ships," Hawking said recently,
Such advanced aliens would perhaps become nomads, looking to conquer and colonize whatever planets they can reach."
I know that the romantics that think that aliens would have no evil intentions in contacting us, but get real people. The only reason you explore the unknown is to expand what you do own. Be it knowledge, resources, or slave labor.
The guts of this article is what are we going to do if we are contacted by aliens from another world.

I support armed conflict. Those that produce and give to the world against people like you. Parasites that do nothing but take. You wouldn't last a day
I note your numbers show $35 mil from unions. Doesn't sound like much compared to the $3.5 Billion your c friends spent.
And this is an example of why I called you an asshole. Never disputed that corporate was abusive with regard to lobbying. Citation to prove otherwise on your part. My point was that typical liberals point to corporate lobbying but ignore other special interest lobbying. Again, citation to prove I was saying anything different.
I like your quote though on labor.
The unions aka mob is really just an under the table corporation fscking us.
I was thinking the same about Labor Unions and Mob ties, but I thought it would be considered troll/flamebait so I didn't use that statement.
On topic though, why would it just be corporate that would lobby for more use of the UAV's? I can see labor lobbying for more of these for one reason only? Jobs.

That would not fit the slash dot acceptable position because it is not anti corporate.I know, it's just not right that corporations employ people. And looking at the first link, damn. Someone can take their hobby and make money. Looking at the second link, a place to go for technical jobs also. Again, just not the type of information that typical liberal slash doters want to hear about corporate America. JOBS.

Learn to fucking read.
Learn to comprehend what the fuck you read.
Learn to provide evidence to support your fucking argument if you disagree what the evidence put forth.
Fucking asshole
You know asshole, 2010. It's only July.
If you don't have evidence to dispute the numbers,shut the fuck up asshole.
are caused by those transnational corporations bribing our politicians (or to put it politely, "Lobbying").
Unions would never bribe(lobby) our politicions.

I like how you chose to ignore non business lobbying in your statement. Could it be your a hypocrite?
Quit being a typical liberal, state ALL the facts. Not just some of them to make your point.
Destroying a huge region of ecosystem and screwing up hundreds of thousands of lives is not the same thing
You do realize that your electronic toys are products that were manufactured in third world countries where the working conditions are terrible. People die making your toys dick head.
Own a iPhone asshole? Seriously? You do know that workers are killing themselves at the factory in China don't you? Do you care? Didn't think so. Your as bad as EVERY MOTHER FUCKING COOPERATION you bitch and moan about.

Found I have 15 moderator points, haven't a fucking clue where that came from. There has been more than once that I wished I had more moderator points to highlight addional comments, now I do.
And if the clerk pockets the cash and calls the cops on you to cover the theft? Here's a 20 for pump #2. *pumps $20 worth of gas and takes off*.
Just saying, ask for a receipt if your worried about the clerk pocketing your cash. Have proof of your purchase.
