Subject: IMAGINE Magazine Question for 10/15 - " ALIENS!?!"



When I was a kid, the movies about aliens we got to see were mainly about how an extra-terrestrial being would somehow get mixed in with the rest of us and spend their time trying to hide in plain sight or else become some government agency's biology project. They all just wanted to be friends and we ended out being the threat. A premise designed to make us all not fear what could happen if a situation like "Independence Day" or "Alien" should ever happen. I mean even some of those old movies played on people's fears. A certain book titled "How to Serve Man" comes to mind. Nothing scary about that until you learn it's a frickin' alien cook book and it's owner is out grocery shopping! LOL!

So our question for October would be, what are your beliefs or hopes for the answer to the question "Are we alone?" Should we be working on a way to display some sort of "No Trespassing" sign to discourage would be visitors or, should we talk about printing up some kind of brochure apologizing for the mess our planet is in? I mean, we really weren't expecting company... 💜
