An amazing image this, the Golden Record from Voyager. An image full of endless possibility, with the enigmatic images giving instructions on how to play it, will there be CD players out there in the cold depths of space? What will they make of our Earth's Greatest Hits selection, will they be the Borg or ET?
When you tire of the everyday sleaze and lies of Blair. The tawdriness of media whores like Jade it helps to turn your eyes and mind to the stars and wonder. And what I wonder is if it's found these Aliens listen to it and come here to the little Blue Planet seeking the wise ones. And will they understand when we explain, we killed the wise ones many years ago along with a lot of the planet. How will we be able to explain the slaughter of the whales.
Alien with a puzzled expression
"So you thought that the wise ones were important enough to put on this Golden Record but you then killed them, killed them all? Beam me up."
