A: Probability/Possibility and actuality are different beasts entirely.
Some things to consider:
The vastness of space (it may be that the bus simply hasn't reached this stop yet)
Level of technical ability and desire (alien doesn't mean advanced, and why assume they have any interest in finding us in the first place)
Difficulty of finding the Earth (Earth isn't exactly some lighthouse or beacon floating in space with a big welcome sign for ET)

The pessimists view being the famous "Drake Equation". Elaborated upon by Carl Sagan re an advanced civilizations ability to inflict self annihilation.

Q: Does anyone have a line on decent agricultural property in the bluegrass for under 2.5k/acre?

(edit: Damn ED beat me)
