THE IGC PEOPLE
I want to take some time here to briefly talk about the personnel [men and also women] who work for IGC since these are the people that the Earth is going to have to get used to dealingwith when it is re-classified.
I have some experiences with IGC, mainly from past lifetimes. Also I had a chance to meet a few IGC people when they were active here in the Sixties. The first thing I want to point outis that these men and women- are mature adults and are generally quite friendly. However, like anyone who has enforcement responsibilities, they have a "bad side" too and so if the Earthis just bound and determined to do its best not to comply with the IGC regulations then this is the side they are going to see.
However, under most conditions, IGC personnel are a great bunch of guys and gals and are fun to be with and to work with. They are very human and have compassion for the "humancondition".
I recall once we were off somewhere on some planet in the middle of nowhere doing an observation and we did our work for the day and had sent in our report on ISN and were justsitting around talking. So we were trying to think of something to do for the evening and so someone suggested, "Well, lets go into the town and get some wine [or whatever mood-altering stuff they used there] and see if we can find a Sally-6 or a Kathy-4 [a dumb, bouncy broad but they are usually good-hearted souls) for the night."
So, basically, the message I an trying to convey here is that the IGC people are not all that much different from Earth people. They are more mature than the average Earth person butsome Earth people are certainly equal to them. And, basically, they share the same human needs and desires as all of us do.
Hopefully, the working relationship that develops between the Earth and IGC in the future will be a happy and helpful relationship.
