S.E.T.I. (search for extraterrestrial intelligence) has it's 50th anniversary this year. For 50 years scientists have been listening to static to determine if aliens are attempting to contact us. Millions of wasted dollars and man hours later Stephen Hawking concluded "contacting aliens could have catastrophic consequences for the human race". Remember what happened to the Indians after the white man contacted them, not a pretty sight. So after 50 years of sitting idly waiting for E.T. to phone they have decided if he does call they won't answer. I do the same thing by screening my calls for collection agencies and telemarketers using caller I.D. If the scientists are worried about who is trying to contact them they should do what everyone else does, let it go to voice mail.
