This has to be the greatest job EVER... I cant believe that we as a human race, have dropped to this level. I understand more than most people the advantage of being prepared but DAMN. The likeliness of such an event to happen is less than being struck by lightning as you read this or winning the lottery combined. Considering that this ambassador is likely to earn(i use that term loosely) almost 6 figure salary to do a job that involves nothing. Literary nothing. Hey did you talk to any aliens today ........nope. I mean come on fucking really. FUCK i don't understand maybe I'm not dumb enough. That is the problem i need a serious head injury to understand today's society.
