    1983 (a Merman I Should Turn To Be) ~ Jimi Hendrix

    Hurrah i awake from yesterday
    alive but the war is here to stay
    so my love catherina and me
    decide to take our last walk
    through the noise to the sea
    not to die but to be re-born
    away from a life so battered and torn....

    forever...
    oh say can you see its really such a mess
    every inch of earth is a fighting nest
    giant pencil and lip-stick tube shaped things
    continue to rain and cause screaming pain
    and the arctic stains
    from silver blue to bloody red
    as our feet find the sand
    and the sea is strait ahead..
    strait ahead.....

    well its too bad
    that our friends
    cant be with us today
    well thats too bad
    "the machine
    that we built
    would never save us"
    thats what they say
    (thats why they aint coming with us today)

    and they also said
    "its impossible for man
    to live and breath underwater..
    forever" was their main complaint
    (yeah)
    and they also threw this in my face:
    they said
    anyway
    you know good well
    it would be beyond the will of God
    and the grace of the King
    (grace of the King yeah yeah)


    so my darling and I
    make love in the sand
    to salute the last moment
    ever on dry land
    our machine has done its work
    played its part well
    without a scratch on our bodies
    and we bid it farewell

    starfish and giant foams
    greet us with a smile
    before our heads go under
    we take a last look
    at the killing noise
    of the out of style...
    the out of style, out of style

    Truthfully, I think a lot of the reaction would be the result of what the movies portray.

    In the 50's and 60's everybody would have expected war. In the early 80's, from ET and Close Encounters people would have expected something else entirely. I'm not exactly sure where the public consciousness is ATM, but I think Independence Day would probably be what many people have been conditioned to expect and they would probably react accordingly.

    I love the line in ID4: Please do not shoot at the spacecraft, we do not want to trigger an interstellar war!

    If aliens are intelligent enough to have developed interstellar travel, it's a good bet that they've also realised how stupid it is to stick around on their home planet, waging war among themselves with finite resources. In other words, they'd be a lot smarter than us

    So if they happen to be hostile, we're going to be extinct. Simple as that.
