Au contraire... I think if aliens are more intelligent than we are then we
should prepare a preemptive immigration strategy to fortify our planetary
borders to ensure they don't come down and exterminate us. If they turn out
to be less intelligent that we are then we should just do the usual thing
and elect them.
