I want to fly

    I keep hearing more and seeing more on the short comings of ancient civilizations that they couldn't have done  this or that thing with out help from some alien or other world beings.I believe in the strength and curiosity of humanity to learn from observation to create things but not always putting it to the use that people today think it should be put to.Why couldn't the person that made that carving of the wooden bird that was found in the middle east in some tomb have just looked at bird wings and seen the contour from the leading edge[front] of it to the trailing edge [back] to get the design and through trial and error added the stabilizer. Did any one get their first paper airplane to work the first time,but through trial and error you probably made a decent glider with out the help of anyone. Especially not some alien who thought you would be better off  with an airplane. Another thought might be that those flattened hill tops might be places to start your glider from,not alien landing strips. Yes if today you put a motor on a glider it will also fly.Different times different uses. Don't think that way back when there wasn't curiosity, trial and error,imagination with out divine intervention. This goes back to sky gods only meaning the wind, flying things could be blimps etc.Lets hope the person did learn about flying. Lets also have faith in our ancestors as we do in ourselves.                                  Keywords; Philosophy ; Humanity.   

Cigarettes

       Why is it that when ever I am standing on the street  for a relaxing moment and decide to have a cigarette, that people I wouldn't ordinarily speak to come up and always ask for a cigarette. I thought that the reason for smoking was to withdraw from communication, not to enhance conversation.                                                                              Keyword; Withdrawal; Smoking.
