Oh, I know some people want to chat with the aliens and enter the Galactic Federation in a spirit of peaceful cooperation, but trust me - when the slime creatures from Aldebaran IV start oozing their way under our front doors, those same people will be whapping at them with golf clubs and kitchen utensils just like the rest of us.

That’s what they WANT you to think. It’s all a plot by the Secret Service to aid in covering up their accidental shooting of Kennedy. Once we’re in the merciless clutches of the Galactic Overlords, no one’s going to give a rat’s char broiled arse who killed JFK.
