The fact that people respond to a simple question with a plethora of abuse and lable others when they have never met them and do not know the other persons opinion (just make it up) says more about you than me.

These are the facts - next time you can label me or others get your OWN facts correct:

1) I do not believe in UFO's or little green men - but most of you people do (but I have an open mind and do not dismiss other that have that opinion - I at least listen. BUT your mins are closed to other ideas - you poor people)
2) I do NOT believe aliens lived on Mars or anywhere els for that matter - but I am willing to look at the evidence with an open mind
3) I do NOT believe that plants or animals live or have lived on Mars - but I am willing to look at the possibility because a lot of other people do believe it and it would make more sense, anyway someone has to at least look at it with an open mind (Don't believe me check with Greg or Nick I am sure they know my opinion on this)
4) I do not believe that water carved anything on Mars on its own - but I am dubious that the physics have been adequately taken everything into consideration
5) I do not believe mars was wetter in the past than it is today - as soon as one goes down this path they start ignoring data that does not fit their beliefs
6) I have an image of a meandering river with fluid flowing (and it is not all CO2) and a second of a canyon currently forming - if you have not seen the images it says more about your ability than mine.
7) I do not believe in castigating people if I disagree with them - I prefer to educate them. The fact that you prefer castigation reflects on your level of intelligence NOT MINE. By attacking me you lost the argument and have shown your inability to argue the point succinctly
8) I at least have the guts to provide my email address. Do you?

;;;;;;succinct means to be subtle yet accurate.
;;;;;;Plethora means 'lots' .

I know these are big words for such small minds to grasp....not to single anyone out..... Gary.....not that I am suggesting that an education would help you.....Gary.... But......perhaps Diplomacy 101 would be a start....I think they grade on 'attendance' not 'intelligence' so you may pass!

I can hurt you by words more than you can hurt me!
