Good news Catholics! The Vatican says it is okay to believe in aliens:
“Just as we consider earthly creatures as ‘a brother,’ and ’sister,’ why should we not talk about an ‘extraterrestrial brother’? It would still be part of creation.”
So if there is life out there the only thing left to do is make sure they aren’t Islamic extremists.
Or French.
Some, like Jeff Peckmen have more pressing concerns. Does he wonder what would happen if the aliens didn’t believe in religion or gods? Is he worried that the aliens could be mimes? No, he lobbies the government to have a plan for traffic accidents involving UFO’s:
“It is important because if you’re driving down the highway and you saw a crash of a small spaceship and a car or a bus full of kids, you really wouldn’t know what to do,…”
See even a whacko who is 54, single, and still lives with his parents knows how to play politics by using the children for the sympathy vote. A bus full of kids? Cue up the sad violin music…
A week later he met with city officials to push his Extraterrestrial Affairs Commission idea. If voted in, it would deal with matters like deployment of Hazmat firefighters and how to prepare the basement bedroom for extraterrestrial visitors. The response was telling:
“Seven high school students from Littleton watched the hearing, wearing tin foil hats they had seen in “Signs,” the M. Night Shyamalan movie about aliens.”
If Peckman fails in his effort he says his next political move will be running for president of the Star Wars Fan Club.
