Oh, dear...
I know there is a need to expand the human race as we thoughtlessly breed ourselves into starvation and continuous war. Another planet would only provide more killing fields, I' thinking.
As I was thinking about us, humans, in all our variety and wondering when we'd get around to talking about our horrific blood lusting, killing, inhumane psychopathic needs to exterminate other humans. We have too few of us not living with rage and aggression and great capacity to hurt others either emotionally or physically to create change.. .
Then I thought "I hope no extraterrestrials ever come here to welcome us to our own galaxy because I am sure we will shoot them on sight." Then I wondered what percentage of us wouldn't do that.
Then I really thought about what was going on world wide right now. Perhaps the muzzle blasts will warn our interstellar neighbors to stay away.
Finally, I thought "Maybe the reason we humans are stuck away almost at the end of one of the arms of our galaxy is just because we are so uber bestial. No animals I am aware of have ever done to each other what we do to each other.
In the end, my admiration of "us" is overwhelmed by my disgust. I wouldn't want to be a neighbor of Earth and its people as corporations and madmen would be waiting at the gates plunder and pillage as they are doing on earth. Sigh.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
