Hi, BOB KLAHN! How are you?   
   on Thursday, 19 of April, I read your message to ALEXANDER KORYAGIN   
   about "Writing about the first amendment"   
      
    BK>  ...   
      
    BK>>>  Like I said, don't take what Lee says too seriously.   
      
    AK>> Well, don't take my words too seriously either. Many of   
    AK>> what I say I say just for process. ;)   
      
    BK>  Oh my... we might start confusing you with Lee.   
      
      
   Well, I think that the best way to keep discussions alive is when you throw in   
   some hot subjects, or you can make hot subjects from cool subjects ;) adding   
   to them your own heat and flame.   
      
   Let's take for instance such a cool subject as life on Mars. I would even say   
   that it as a cold subject. Because all the modern scientists puff up their   
   cheeks and tell us tales that Mars is lifeless and there is no a single chance   
   that we can find life on this planet.   
      
   But we can heat up the subject if we say something unusual. The matter is that   
   almost all scientists are people without imagination. Yes,it is a bitter truth   
   that children with great imagination like to play, not to study. Because of   
   this such children have mediocre marks, and that's why scientific institutes   
   don't have such people when those children become grownups. ;-)   
      
   For instance - people without imagination think that Mars is a frozen desert   
   covered with ice that covered with sand. Let's try to warm up this dismal   
   picture.   
      
   Yes, Mars is a frozen desert. But Mars is a quite different planet than the   
   Earth. When we dig our planet we can get down just a few miles deep. Then it   
   becomes too hot and we cannot proceed digging farther down. When a crack   
   appears in the Earth crust and water gets in it it becomes a vapor and it is   
   thrown up from the crack with a great pressure. The Earth inside is literally   
   bubbling with scorching magma.   
      
   Another matter Mars. It is not burning hot as the Earth, but it not cold   
   inside either! More of that, it is _comfortable_ inside. So, only fools will   
   live in the frozen desert on the surface while you can live inside the planet.   
      
   When Mars crust cracked water from the surface was almost never thrown back.   
   It went down into the area with a comfortable temperature. BTW, the deeper we   
   go the more atmospheric pressure we have. Beside that water is evaporating and   
   inside closed areas there is even more high pressure.   
      
   When people learned the bottom of earth oceans they discovered that a sun   
   light is not a necessary thing to keep life on. Living creatures can use   
   temperature, chemical reaction, etc.,  to feed themselves up. And of course   
   high developed creatures use primitive one as food.  ;=)   
      
   So in the case of Mars civilization it got down into the ground. If we   
   implement the same model to the Moon we can see that the Moon can really be   
   full of holes and burrows, just like a chunk of the Swiss cheese.   
      
   Yeah, there are some peculiarities in the Martians outlook. They can see in   
   the dark, their eyes are huge... well we saw such creature many times, why I   
   have to describe them?   
      
   In short, if we see something that looks like a Sahara or Antarctica desert we   
   must understand that we can say nothing about life on the planet in whole.   
   Only crazy earthling spend their time in such places. Martian deserts are even   
   more severe and there are no fools that live on the surface. You cannot find   
   even traces of them.   
      
   I sincerely hope that I've made the issue of the Marsian life a bit warmer and   
   may be some people will be glad to say a couple words on this subject and   
   unleash their fantasies.
