Maybe aliens look at us and want to stay as far away as possible.

Aw ... lots of credits to be made duping the
local yokels with shiny baubles !

Humans ARE a fairly aggressive, hostile, species
though. WOULD be best to keep a distance.

Or maybe they're "Klingons" and think we're too
wimpy, unworthy of conquest, no honor in it ? :-)

In any case, I'm sick of the speculation by govt-paid
and capitalizers like Prof Kaku and friends. They don't
know dick - so why give 'em a dollar ?
