   *The only problem with UFO cranks is if you elect 'em to office and they start banning vaccinations&Tylenol; otherwise they're not much more of a public nuisance than your average astrologer, and a lot more entertaining

     @bruces Not if you elect the actual scientists. Comparing people who explore UFO experiences with the nut jobs that want to ban vaccines is really a dumb thing to do. I expected better from you. Astrologers are also not anti vax. Nor are they stupid. Nor are they a nuisance. Labeling all of them “cranks” shows how limited you are in growth.
