"Direction........"

Charles Krauthammer is a Jewish political news columnist who appears quite frequently on Fox. A diving accident during his early college years made him a paraplegic, altering him physically, but in no way spiritually.

It gives no clues as to how much his religious heritage affects his thinking, but I admit to my surprise in hearing him recently speak of our universe possessing thousands of planets capable of possibly knowing intelligent life forms. Why have none thus far ever contacted us? According to him, it’s never happened because, before reaching an ability to do so, they destroyed themselves; and, if we are to escape the same fate, our best bet is politics!
