This always has bothered me. People who are supposedly scientists, understanding that by the logic and knowledge of the day that things in the universe have evolved under similar circumstances everywhere, have this idiotic idea that any other sentient species out there aren't at least as warlike and bent on expansion as we are. While it may be that case, it's not the brightest idea to go broadcasting happy bullshit from a piece of the most prime real estate out here on the Galactic rim. Just what we need on top of dealing with a pack of assholes in our government, a Plark "world scrubber" parking in orbit to stake a claim...
Just what we need on top of dealing with a pack of assholes in our government, a Plark "world scrubber" parking in orbit to stake a claim... I agree! However, resistance is futile earth creature! ;-) OR--- "We come only to serve man, earth people! Here is our guide written in our own language: TO SERVE MAN" (IT'S A COOKBOOK!!!!! AAAAAGHHH!!)
