Have you noticed that all the equipment and instruments hunting for intelligent life are pointed away from earth?
Well,,, they sure didn`t point it in my direction ! Of course,, Texans know it all ! They should have asked ! The clue is,,,intelligent life !
The search results, when they aimed the instruments at earth were so confusing and muddled that they had to go in another direction with their research hoping that they could find something to give the universe a reason to be proud of it's inhabitants.
