Does life exist on other planets?

I just found some writing from an old University philosophy class: “Earth may in fact be the only host planet for living beings in the entire Universe. If all conscious beings were dependent on the existence of a telepathic link on a sub/super-conscious level - then our apparent proximity may be the result of our mental configuration, not [...]

• I had a bad experience with HostGator today. I notice they are advertising on my blog. I had them change a DNS record for Trancendance.net and it took them 3 tries to get it right. The first two times resulted in some down time for the site and some subdomains that were under the trancendance.net domain. They used to be pretty good, but their technical ability seems to have gone downhill in the last couple years. #

• Here's another really smart tool for helping you plan a strategic vote to prevent Stephen Harper's Conservatives from winning the 2008 Canadian Federal Election. Vote for the Environment has up to date graphs of polling data for the four major Canadian political parties broken down on a riding by riding basis. #

• My hat goes off to Obama for a tax plan long overdue. Increasing taxes on people making over $2.9 Million dollars and reducing taxes on the rest of the population would help reduce the gap between the rich and the poor. This would be good for the country and good for everyone making less than $2.9 Million per year. See a comparison of Obama's tax plan vs. John McCain's Tax Plan: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QM4NxHGb6iI&feature=iv&annotation_id=event_936515 Unfortunately the people making over $2.9 Million per year usually have lots of influence to avoid paying more taxes. How greedy and selfish do you need to be? Average working people like myself would be happy to pay an extra $700k in taxes if only I were making over $2.9 Mil! Bravo Obama. If they don't want you as President in the United States will you come up to Canada? Canadians would be lucky to have such a strong candidate to vote for. #
