Truth. Sadly, we cannot presume that the universe would be a better place with the likes of us crawling all over it. One imagines a mature, peaceful,and sensible race of aliens watching us anxiously and breathing a sigh of relief as they see us flail and bicker.

To squabble over the use of a tiny portion... of a small island... on an obscure planet... when we only have to look up (with the help of a telescope, preferably) to see the infinite realm of destinations and possibilities... pathetic. That the parties involved are descendants of the two most daring races of explorers of the unknown that the world has ever seen...[V]
