That's such a depressing thought that my brain didn't want to think about it. But your observation is spot on and you've convinced me that it needed to be in there. You're right, that is the point and I missed it.

I didnt invent this concept. Its all around us. Just about everywhere you look these days this particular idealogy is subliminally being pushed.
Think about it, demoize man, make them all seem selfish, greedy and thoughtless. Show how the earth is being over come with waste and polution and population of greedy evil selfish humans. We wish alien would come along and kill those kinds of humans while we the innocent sitting in our air conditioners, flying about, riding about on motor cars, sitting on our computer made in a factory and shipped over to flown over by plane do nothing but point out hypocrisy and wish to hasten our own demise not even realizing we are also part of the homosapien species we detest so much.
Yes, its all around you bob.
Save the planet, kill the people is the new culture of mankind thinking. Yes, its self defeating.

Well I agree that's the level of cynicism the cartoon gets too. And it is a very poignant commentary conveyed in a really masterful way by that cartoonist. And it's a valuable perspective that needs to voiced.
But you start to lose me when we try to take it beyond that. Especially when we bring the extraterrestrials into this picture.
I don't share that degree of pessimism and cynicism when we reach that point. I want to believe that if there any extraterrestrials in existence which can visit us, that they could just as easily want to be of aid to us, not want to destroy us.
I was in a conversation just the other day about that. And all I really have to go on is what humans do about it (at least some of us).
When other creatures are headed towards extinction (by the way, usually because of what we have done and not what they do), we go to great lengths to try to prevent that from happening.
That eagle webcam reminds us of a good example of that. The only reason we're able to watch those eagles on that webcam is because humans came to the rescue of the eagles and did just that, brought them back from the path to extinction.
If it's possible for us to be visited by extraterrestrials, I have no reason to believe that they could not do the same for us.
And in fact they may have already intervened and we just don't know it.
