“The UAE Sonnet
I'm asked to compare USA with UAE,
So here it is, in my free form sonnetary.
For starters, there is no comparison -
UAE is a civilized country, USA is not.
Sure UAE has its share of violations,
like every living country in the world,
but unlike USA, the incredible growth
and the very birth of UAE is not founded
on the worst kind of atrocities in history.
In fact, forget the rich, safe and
prosperous UAE - on the civilization scale
USA is the bottom scraper of history.”

“The UFO abduction syndrom portrays, it seems to me, a banal Universe. The form of the supposed aliens is marked by a failure of the imagination and a preoccupation with human concerns. Not a single being presented in all these accounts is as astonishing as a cockatoo would be if you had never before beheld a bird.”

“The ufo is nothing more than an assertion of herself by the Goddess into history, saying to science and paternalistically governed and driven organizations: You have gone far enough. We are going to turn the world upside down. Your science is going to be shown up for what it is, nothing more than a pleasant metaphor usefully extrapolated into the production of toys for healthy children. That's what science is good for.
It is not some meta-theory at whose feet every point of view from astrology to acupressure to channeling need be laid to have the hand of science announce thumbs up or thumbs down.”

“The UFO was bouncing around the 747. It was a huge ball with lights running around it... Well, I've been involved in a lot of cover-ups with the FAA. When we gave the presentation to the Reagan staff, they had all those people swear that this never happened. But they never had me swear it never happened. I can tell you what I've seen with my own eyes. I've got a videotape. I've got the voice tape. I've got the reports that were filed that will confirm what I've been telling you.”

“The UFOs were explicable enough, just experimental aircrafts from the airport. Of course the government was not going to tell people what was actually going on.
