I'm trying to remember who it was that said "The best evidence that there is intelligent life out there is that they aren't making contact with us!"

Probably George Carlin.

That said, how long would it take to get there?

Roughly.

Because either I have to go, or about 3 million other earthlings have to go. It’s them or me :)

It appears that these ‘visitors’ have been visiting for centuries, millenia perhaps! Could it be that they are waiting until we develop some societal system similar to their own before they make official contact? ... Think about it: we humans aren’t likely to go ‘hive style’, so what if that is the system the visitors use? What religious or societal systems approach a hive mentality in our day? ... Islam anyone?
