Not trying to get too suspicious or too paranoid, but there's a small part of me that thinks the Govt. is slowly and purposefully getting people "used" to the idea and concept of alien lifeforms.
Is it just me or have we seen a gradual increase in the amount of movies and T.V. shows about alien lifeforms and interaction with humans.
District 9, Star Trek, Independence Day, Stargate, Voyager, etc, etc and countless other shows and movies that have come out in the last 30 yrs seem to suggest humans and aliens can somehow learn to communicate and co-habitate together.
Could it all be a grand, elaborate scheme to indoctrinate earthlings to accept the idea and concept of other-world beings? Imagine how society would have freaked out 50yrs ago if we were presented with an actual alien life form? Now imagine how that same event, while as shocking as it would still be, would affect people today? I dare think mush less mass-hysteria and more wider acceptance among today's youth who have grown up with all these Sci-Fi films and TV shows bombarding them with the concept of alien life being a distinct possibility, albeit even normal...
