Genius get-together?

Question: Why don't a bunch of you genius types get together and solve the world's problems? I think if the world would send genius representatives to a genius conference that many of the world's problems could be solved. Conrad Strayer, Cincinnati, Ohio

Answer: Conrad, I have heard this question several times. Many years ago, I used to think the same thing. I have often thought of all the genius personalities who were alive in the year 1800 and the remarkable things that were achieved by them. The reality is that, in today's culture, genius is neither respected nor appreciated. If a group of true genius level people were organized to help solve the world's problems, who would accept the results of that group? If I had a solution to a major specific problem, how would I get that information to anyone in a position to do anything about it? And even if I did reach the people in authority, they would not accept my solution. On a worldwide basis, politics has permeated our society. If someone tried to organize a group that only contained people of genius level, some legal and/or politically correct group would try to sue saying that dumb people had been left out of the group. I could reply that dumb and stupid people have their own group. They are called politicians. But it wouldn't accomplish anything so I won't. To answer your question, the reason that a genius group doesn't form and try to help with world problems is because no one would accept the solutions of the genius group. It simply is not practical. And this group of people are intelligent enough to know it would not work.

They are real!

Question: I have read all your answers and truly believe you give good responses to difficult questions. My friends and I got together to come up with a question for you. Don't give us a long drawn out response with lots of quotes and facts. Just tell us yes or no. Okay? The question is: are UFOs real? And is their a government coverup of UFOs or not? Thank you. Hank Shepherd, Charleston, S.C.

Answer: Yes, they are real. Yes, the United States government has been involved in an official "coverup" since at least 1947.
