"Do Americans really believe the same government that runs the postal service is covering up alien life?"
This argument irritates me every time I hear it. Let me make an equivalent substitution:
"Do Americans really believe the same government that increasingly and permanently collects everything that they say and do while bathing them in propagada without them ever realizing it is covering up alien life?"
Government is people, and people pay a lot more attention when money or power are involved. In fact, it's such a straw man argument that always have to wonder if the purveyor actually believes the opposite.
Kinda makes me want to adjust my tin foil hat and pay more attention to the night sky.

- jlhamilton 14y agoThe USPS is terrible.
- pavel_lishin 14y agoIt's regional. I've had excellent and awful service from the USPS, UPS, and Fedex.
- luser001 14y agoPlease explain. I love the USPS. It's cheap and fast. IMHO. YMMV. People literally ship gold through the US Mail: it's that secure.
- jonno 14y agoIt's a soundbite analogy suggesting that the Government isn't generally terribly organised and covering up something as huge as aliens not only existing but already having been among us isn't likely. Considering what he does for a living Seth must get asked this question loads and this is a convenient way to get his point across without having to have a long winded discussion every time on the complexities or unlikelihood of a cover up of this magnitude.
