On Aliens

I was just thinking- there is a very high probability that life exists somewhere out there in the universe, a good probability that it flourishes, a fair enough probability that they are at least as advanced as us, a decent probability that they are better than us technologically. Then why is it that we have not been contacted? I'll tell you why- they are hiding from us. They have to. Humans are known aggressors & conquerors. What do you think would have happened if we had discovered that Mars was inhabitable? We would have packed our bags and gone off to settle there. What would have happened if there was intelligent life there? We would have conquered and captured the poor guys and made them into lab-rats and slaves or worse. Think about it people - what happened when humans discovered America? If we can mete out that sort of a treatment to our fellow-humans, what would we do to an alien race?

All the horrible aliens we see in science fiction, are not really aliens. It's us. We are afraid that a technologically superior society would conquer us because that's what we would do to a less advanced society. We are the monsters, not them. It's time we thought about who we are, who we're meant to be, and what we've become. God's image! Yeah right!!!!
