Wait, what? That's not what I was saying. I was just countering Dana's theory that a kinder, gentler alien race would avoid us because we were belligerent--I think natural selection means you have to be belligerent to survive at all as an intelligent species. If aliens did exist, I think they'd be as belligerent as we are.
