First contact
I wonder - when was the last time we had a "first contact" type of situation in history? Pretty sure it was really long ago. With internet and satelites and other forms of surveillance not much is left unknown. Random thoughts out loud. I know I can google or browse wikipedia. It's more of a thought to discuss not an actual question. (edited)

History repeats itself
Democracy falls little by little. It's not a sudden change. I can't help but think about how hitler came to power in the democracy of Germany when thinking about the current state of America.
