Exerpt from Total Amnesia:

The Invasion of Earth

I feel so matter-of-fact.  OK, life here on Earth is going to change.  We’re all going to die, or maybe we’ll be taken over by some alien race.   

Yep, that’s pretty interesting. 

Any way you look at it my 15 years of education has suddenly become relatively insignificant.  The last three years of college―with all of its supreme importance―means nothing now.  Material possessions, mortgages, mutual funds, insurance policies, business plans, social security, the national debt―even governments and entire cultures―all of that is going to become basically meaningless in the scheme of things; wiped out, just like that.  Now everything that made up my life, everything that is so important to achieve; the goals, the aspirations; they all seem like some silly, almost childlike game in what has become the current scheme of things.  Now that’s an interesting “theory of relativity.”

Apparently we’re just some Podunk Planet with Podunk technology and they have their own version of Manifest Destiny.  It ain’t so noble when it’s your society that’s being “civilized” is it white man.
