24 Well, I wouldn't exactly say they ended nowhere. I got one of my greatest lessons from the long monotonous drone of Llalla. His line of logic went something like this: "We have of course been in contact with your earth leaders. You may have asked yourself why they have not told you of our existence. It has to do, my Earth friends, with power. Power is not money. Money is only a representation of power. Similarly, political power is only symbolic.  Real power comes from coal, oil, nuclear and hydroelectric energy. Power is literally power. On your planet, the supply of power is controlled by very few, at the expense of the rest. Supposing someone came along with a form of power that would be accessible in unlimited amounts to everyone, do you not think that these few would be reluctant to tell the others?" Aha! it sounded like he was talking about the something similar to the project that died with Tesla, whose plans were destroyed by the NRC and the CIA, that would have allowed you to operate a toaster simply by putting an antenna up on your roof. Llalla was talking some revolutionary stuff.   HB
