Scott Card really shouldn't write more than 1-2 books in a series. He quickly runs out of ideas for good plot and characters and gets overly mystic and philosophical.

anyone that thinks that the same variables that created life here could not have happened other places in the endless expanse of the universe is a ***** moron.

However, keep in mind the vast size of the universe.
To think that the existence of a life form sufficiently advanced to get in contact with us happens "close" to us (both spatially AND temporally) is wishful thinking. The earth is one small point in a vast universe, and the "rule" of mankind (so far, let's say 5000 years) is utterly insignificant in a supergalactic scope.
I have neither the crayons nor the time to explain it to you.

I was thinking about this and i must say that personally in my own reality i would welcome them, so i vote yes. But in a more grander scale i know there is quite a few people that are again'st this and it would cause mass hysteria and stuff, but i don't want to make the decision for them since it's not my call. In this case id vote no. So ill just vote from my own perspective and say yes.
Darkness is unknowing, Light is knowing. Shed light to the Darkness to transform it into knowing. Thus it becomes Light.

You can guess two times who will draw the short end of THAT straw.


Well this will probably sound like a bunch of ***** for you and most, but for the sake of giving a perspective to chew on ill say this. As far as i understand it it takes for example, the Sirians (from Sirius wich is 8,7 light years away from us), 45 minutes or less to get here if they wanted. They don't actually travel in the 3rd dimension for reasons Kandarim mentioned above. So in a way they are already here, but not showing themselves.
