Space Aliens Will Destroy Us All

[Alakazam]

If one alien race exists there are probably others.
If others exist then there were probably encounters long before ours between the older races.
With encounters between old races occurring there may be a set of rules in place, allied races banding together for security and prosperity.

I don't think an alien race would see us as a threat or even a pest.

Its probably more likely we would be recruited into one of the groups then destroyed.
Life is precious rare and although our tech is likely a childs toy in comparison with all the progress we have its likely we have SOME ideas of value.

Great writers, poets etc...
Personally if I were from a highly advanced alien race and i found a lesser advanced one I would be incredibly curious.

With their inability to be a threat to me I certainly would not waste any effort no matter how small to destroy them.
I would watch, listen and learn.

Even if the humans were of little interest there is an amazing amount of possibly unique life on this planet.
From plants that may cure illnesses or relieve symptoms to amazing animals that could be placed in zoo's.

Id say if anything the earth is probably a protected nature preserve until a time when one of the older races deem its time for official contact.
