Really? You’re going to put stock in Robbie Graham when he quotes someone who proposes that marginal status persons, as a result of their feelings of alienation and distrust of the system, believe flying saucers represent extraterrestrial craft due to a rejection of society’s dominant values? [citations 24-25 in his book]<br /><br />For his “study” David Warren relegated all BLACK MEN and WOMEN to the status inconsistent - marginal category. Get it? Black men and women are marginal human beings. (!?) Very strange that you’re all up in arms over Ventura’s Facebook post yet your totally okay with the latest ufology’s-dead-again-messiah Robbie Graham putting stock in Donald Warren’s racist, debunking “Status Inconsistency Theory and Flying Saucer Sightings.”<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7455216065351371692.post-12585196004239182062017-06-02T03:11:56.188-07:002017-06-02T03:11:56.188-07:00Thanks John - no concern on my part and will begin...Thanks John - no concern on my part and will begin reading it myself tonight !<br /><br />Mike, have you ever considered having your interviews transcribed into a book ? It would make an interesting book ! I'm looking at doing that on my monologues and was thinking that your podcast would make an excellent addition to your Owl Book(s) ! Just a thought ! Keep up the great work ! <br />Happy Summer !

I w...It is now available on Kindle. I just got it.<br /><br />I will attempt to save Mike the trouble of responding to the question concerning what he wrote about. Since Mike noted that he only mentioned owls once, Bright Garlick is understandably concerned about what Mike discussed in Robbie Graham's new book. <br /><br />A brief skim gave me the impression that Mike emphasized that we must look beyond the extraterrestrial hypothesis to understand this subject. For example:<br />"There are aspects of this phenomenon that challenge everything. The web of little strings seems to go everywhere."<br /><br />Although Mike mentioned owls only once, I have already detected one use of the word "tidy", so Mike's regular fans should feel right at home with this.John Burkenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7455216065351371692.post-12479412140096327852017-05-28T23:40:38.667-07:002017-05-28T23:40:38.667-07:00What did you write about Mike ?
