| No, I didn't think so. For the record, Area 51 is a military base, of sorts. It's a skunkworks factory (skunkworks being stealth planes and the like) and yes, it's heavily guarded and quite well-disguised. Should a plane fly over, before it was shot down, it wouldn't see anything but what appeared to be mountains which are, in fact, hangars. The government has recently stopped denying this. However, conspiracy theorists and paranoid schizophrenics alike all agree that another base was built and Area 51's actual (read: extraterrestrial) contents were moved there. Is there any reason why I should care if the government has a stockpile of crashed UFOs and dead aliens? Nope, can't think of one, doesn't really affect my life at all. Nor does the encryption code on a DVD. I bought my DVD player and my movies, and they work, and that's enough. Look at it this way...did you ever have a secret? Of course you did. Everyone has. Do you think it should be perfectly okay for anyone who wants to have access to your secret? Nope, because then it wouldn't be very secret, now would it? Think of how much more important a government's or big honkin' corporation's secrets are than yours. Be it the Achille's heel of an F-117 fighter or the Colonel's original recipe, everyone's got something they don't want or need to be made public. Gah, have I proved YET that I'm not a geek, or do I have to start burning dummies in the image of Linus Torvalds? |
