The Issue
A recent, well-publicized UFO sighting over rural areas of Fyreheart 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 Tobias Falopian, "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?"
[Accept]
"Spies! Its gotta be spies! A few planes or satellites from our enemies or 'allies' in our region," rages General Konrad Broadside, head of Fyreheart'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 Phoenixs."
This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.
"Extraterrestrial lifeforms? Alien invaders? I don't know why we even have to listen to such idiocy!" complains prize-winning physicist Lars Rifkin, "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 dollars on it. Leave this sort of foolishness to the people who attend those 'trekkie' conventions."
[Accept]
What do the options do? I'm insanely militaristic, so I chose 2.
