   Most folk - including politicians - are shying away from Jill
   Tarter's conclusion on SETI - "We've only been able to
   communicate electronically for a few decades. If there is anyone
   else out there with technology, sheer odds suggest they've had it
   much, much longer than we have. To them, we might be viewed as
   the scum of the universe."

   Along with fact that - if such folk had wanted to - they might
   have been watching all our most intimate moments for thousands of
   years. Now _that_ would make for an interesting rewrite of
   history - especially last few years.

   Come to think of it, given size and age of universe, it's a fact:
   [probably many, but ...] at least one  research group _must_ be
   watching [each and ...] all of us every moment of our lives.

   Now that might explain some mythology.
