OK, then why doesn't Von D investigate some of those European
Cathedrals. Built during the Middle ages by a bunch of illiterate, plague
infested pesants living in thatched huts. Obiviosly they could never have
compleated these structures without extra-terrestrial help! Oh wait, I
forgot, they were white. Only those poor Native Americans need ETs to build
anything, not Von D's Aryan brothers!
Human beings, of ANY race, are a resourseful bunch, capable of much
more than the limited imaginations of people like Von D and Jiri can
contemplate.
