The Issue
A recent, well-publicized UFO sighting over rural areas of Germonica has turned people's attention to the skies, and what... or who... might be up there.
The Debate
"This event proves one thing: there are other life-forms out there," says eccentric astronomer Roxanne Spirit, "All we have to do is find them! What is the price of a few hundred Radio Telescopes compared to the benefit of living in peace and harmony with our brethren of the stars?"
This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.
"Spies! It's gotta be spies! A few planes or satellites from our enemies or 'allies' in our region," rages General Steffan Shiomi, head of Germonica's military, "The only way to keep those snoops out of our airspace is to patrol the streets 'n skies, and shoot 'em down! Even if they are some sort of little green aliens, a couple of SAM batteries and a few flak cannons'll keep 'em from abducting our Germonican Leopards."
"Extraterrestrial lifeforms? Alien invaders? I don't know why we even have to listen to such idiocy!" complains prize-winning physicist Billy-Bob Frederickson. "In my opinion, the idea of 'aliens' on another planet is highly unlikely, and even if they did exist, getting from there to here is technically impossible! I say we forget this nonsense and stop spending our tax Zempluronos on it. Leave this sort of foolishness to the people who attend those 'trekkie' conventions."
Can you guys tell me the effects of each choice(ex.More/less civil rights)?
Thanks
