Planet X: Messenger’s CHOICE

As I said, to FAIL to issue a warning, which you KNOW is a valid
warning, is unconscionable.  Imagine the rules demanded of ZetaTalk
applied to everyday situations:

    The weatherman determines, with strong certainty, 
    that a hurricane is going to strike the East Coast of 
    the US.  But he’s not 1,000% SURE!  Better not to 
    create panic, best to say nothing.

    A pedestrian notes that an old woman is starting to 
    walk across the street when a truck is barreling along 
    at a rate that would make it almost impossible to 
    avoid hitting her.  But he can’t create FEAR in her!  
    So he says nothing, so as not to create a sense of 
    fear in the old woman.

    A lab technician notes that a man has cancer of the 
    prostate, but her supervisor has erroneously filed 
    this as a no-problem result.  She debates exposing 
    the mistake or telling the doctor, but this would 
    create a lack of CONFIDENCE in the leadership 
    of the lab. Not wanting to fail to be a team player, 
    she says nothing.

Now where the NASA lackies and self-appointed Shepherds of the Sheep of
sci.astro would have you NOT think for yourself, or be warned, or
challenge the Good ‘Ol Boy club which they are staunch members of, I as
someone who is getting information I personally have found to be 100%
accurate have a choice:

 1. Let the insults and derision and endless attempts to 
    get me to disappear work, and remain silent

    This course would allow me to hold a good paying 
    job, take pleasure trips, and feel well rested.  I 
    personally could take the message seriously if I 
    wanted, and save myself, perhaps murmuring my 
    concerns to a few close friends and family.  That’s 
    the EASY way.

 2. Put forth the message and let folks decide for
    themselves, and plot their course as they wish

    This course requires me to be exhuasted, insulted, 
    broke, and in the situation of being attacked as the 
    messenger BEFORE 2003 and burned at the stake 
    if I’m wrong AFTER 2003.  Does anyone think I’m 
    getting rich?  Having fun?  Can escape in either 
    case?  This is the DIFFICULT path, which I as the 
    messenger have chosen.
