Aliens among us AKA: Fun with anal probes

So, there is a lot of crazy stuff out there about alien abductions. I chalk this up with religious hysteria.

That does not mean there is no truth to it, but if there is any truth to it, I have yet to see anything that convinces me.


So, that said...

Why don't we have contact with aliens? I mean, given the age and size of the universe, why haven't we had any contact with alien intelligence?

This is known as the Fermi Paradox, by the way:

My personal guess is the prime directive (from Star Trek). They are out there, and in some way aware of our existence, but don't want to intervene.


Do all things with love.
