I watched a show by Michio Kaku on how we could defend against an alien invasion. It never occurred to the physicist that the aliens would simply launch a biological attack. No need for lasers and spaceships and fancy weapons when you can just kill everyone with a virus.

You and I are on the same page. We were watching that show, and I told my wife if aggressive aliens ever showed up we'd be dead instantly -- either biological, nano, or some other tech that targets whatever lifeform you want eradicated. There'd be no fight -- none.

I agree. If either of you read David Weber, that's how he had the aggressive aliens wipe out the populous. Develop a virus, seed the atmosphere and vioci, there you go, nice clean world to inhabit.

But is it really wrong of me to hope that one day we'll get to see a real UFO? :-)

Unless they came to eat us. Then they would want to fatten us up first over a few decades using shell companies like Archer Daniels Midland and disguising themselves in human suits like Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Hillary Clinton to expand the welfare state and promote general sloth. :)
