President Elect Shang,

I never read it that way mlmbd. I never even thought along those lines. Most likely since I lack an ego (that was Freud's little pearl of ignorance) I view everyone as equals till they prove themselves different.

Fair enough!

Did I mention Freud was a quack? Well that’s a whole debate in itself and I don’t want to go there right now.

Yes, that an entirely different "can of worms".

Do you think that humans are xenophibic toward the concept of extraterrstrials?

This President Elect Shang is an interesting question. You did mean "xenophobic" and "extraterrestrials", correct? May I inquire as the particular "concept" we are talking about? OK, OK, I will assume (I am going to pay for this. Assuming, that is) that you are talking about "concept" in it's generally accepted terminology.

Since a concept is something we "CONCEIVE". In the abstract I would have to say humans in general are very xenophobic about extraterrestrials.

capnq,

Speaking of weird things under rocks, where did the phrase "open a can of worms" originate?

I can see that smerk on your face, capnq. I really don't have any idea!
