An Alien Invasion? Aren’t We More Worried About the Invasion We Have Right Now By One of Our Own Kind?

The threat of an alien invasion has rightfully entertained the attention of all Earth people since the late 19th Century. And there have been certain times in the interim that it was the greatest putative threat against our population. Perhaps the mid-20th Century? Orson Wells?

Few people feel that way nowadays. Our sociopathic president, our escalation of the nuclear arms race, the prospect of world fascism, the concept of a planet so warm that it’s rife with superstorms, droughts, wildfires, loss of land mass, and famines–all these things seem so much more likely to take us down.

Aliens.  Really?
