Seattle Extremist @SeattleIndepen1 - I’ve always had this fear of aliens conquering our planet and doing terrible things to us. I watched that TV series “V” as a kid, and it messed me up. I have this terrible thought that aliens would take over and slowly kill us all by poisoning our food and medicine, turn us into compulsive gamblers and drug users, erase our history and sever our bonds with each other without anyone really noticing. And stranger still, that they’d trick us into not reproducing but instead just watch others having intercourse. And do weird things like chop off our genitals.
