How many off world societies in this galaxy have civilizations similar or dissimilar to Earths?
I'm sorry the directions on polls and how to post them on this board, are not graphically clear.
Please' how many societies out there do you feel are roughly similar to Earth's more advanced or less advanced and why do you think they would or would not contact Earth society openly?
At least your poll is less stupid then Zarkov's. He didn't have any options at all in his "poll." But really, what is the point of making a poll with only one choice and then asking a question for that choice that couldn't possibly be answered by choosing? 
I voted.
Interesting poll. It's like the Sesame Street for neurotic kids that holds up two items and says "one of these things is not like the other"!
I voted in my mind.
Peace,

kjw, I'll tell you what. I'll cast my vote the way you want yours to be, because I had no intention of voting in this poll anyway. You use mine.

Well if you consider the huge time scale/number of stars and the fact that our star is very young compared to others of its type (1.8 billion years younger than most), I'd say we'd be lucky to find 1 or 2 such civilizations.
