Thank you for fully validating my point. As long as differences are labeled "freaky", "freakish", "wrong". etc... we will never get the truth.
Which is why I said, in our lifetimes. It will take generations to breed out that form of reaction, if ever.

I wonder what makes people think that the government is the residing body dictating when ETs are 'revealed.
When did it become up to the government?
Why do people accept that it is up to the government?
Was the existence of ETs suppressed back in the 1800s or in the 1500s, or is it just a modern day non sense.
Why didn't ETs reveal themselves in say in the year 1100 when we had no weapons which could be potentially harmful, or was the mighty government of the 1100s keeping the truth from world wide population...
I wonder if ETs reveal themselves and are nothing like we've imagined and the gray looking things were just drones etc. And ETs are actually just blobs and weird cloud formation and do nothing all day but 'observe"
. That would really put a damper on our sci-fi and imagination

As I posted above, I beg to differ. I can compare them. They are both a reaction (a visceral reaction) to something totally different and strange to many people. That reaction is what I would use as a litmus test if asked "are we ready yet as a species?" I f we cannot even accept difference and change in our OWN species, then how the HELL can we expect to accept a completely alien species with not only different anatomy, but culture and history.
As a crude gauge of reaction, as is a litmus test, it is as good a gauge as we have so far. At least since the Orson Wells broadcast in the early 20th Century.
