Denver Proves Inhospitable To Extraterrestrials

Yesterday’s Wall Street Journal reported that voters  in Denver rejected Ballot Initiative 300, which would have set up an Extraterrestrial Affairs Commission, stocked with Ph.D. scientists, to “ensure the health, safety and cultural awareness of Denver residents” when it comes to future contact “with extraterrestrial intelligent beings or their vehicles.”

When you listen to some of the statements made by the people supporting this, you really do wonder what the people who began the initiative were thinking.  The campaign to pass the initiative was run by Jeff Peckham.

The article reports:

“”It took, what, 18 years for health-care reform to happen,” Mr. Peckham said. “And how many years for women to get the vote? So some big things take a while to get going.”

“Supporters of the measure that argued that it would position Denver as the Roswell of the Rockies and attract sci-fi and space-related business and tourism.

“”Look at your Star Trek conventions! How many people go to those?” agreed Veronica Barela, a supporter of the initiative and a leader in Denver’s Latino community.”

This was definitely a unique way to try to attract business to the community!
