if the idea of other life forms were accepted then, the world should accept it now.
Now the only problem with this is the government has manipulated it to where society is now scared of these possibilities.

The biggest argument for keeping the existence of exterrestrials and their technology is that the world would be plunged into utter chaos.
All or most of the worlds major religions would become instantly negated. Although this is personally appealing to me on the surface it is not smoething that can be sprung without some serious thought. The world revolves around religion. If Marx was alive today I believe he would've said "Religion is the crack and porn of the masses". If you were to instaneously redefine everybody on the planet's beliefs and values, the results we be unpredicatble to say the least. It could realistically crash the global economy and start a global revolution. War, Famine , shit like that. An awesome responsibility to say the least. Who would you choose to lead the world in this time of rediscovery? No one I know or have even heard of installs that much confidence.
There are some who say that the mainstream media is slowly preparing us for this big news through shows like the X-files, Star-Trek, etc. While this is laughable at first it does make sense in a way. What better way to condition people than through a medium that they are already completely preoccupied with?
I don't know any of the answers and the possibilites are certainly limitless. The ideas of extraterrestrial or supra-terrestrial life doesn't scare me much. However, keeping in mind that people are nervous, jumpy, dangerous animals, their inevitable reaction to this kind of news frightens me to the core of my being.
