Hawking in the Twilight Zone

"The famous astrophysicist Stephen Hawking believes that the only rational response to 'Are we alone' is a resounding 'No.' ... 'But he warned that aliens might simply raid Earth for resources, then move on.' ... 'Prof Hawking thinks that, rather than actively trying to communicte with extra-terrestrials, humans should do everything possible to avoid contract.' ... In fact, even if the aliens had the best of intentions, it is still likely they would end up destroying us. ... It would be infinitely safer to assume that aliens want to destroy us than that they would greet us with open arms. if the latter, it's a mistake that we can't take back if the former turns out to be true", Rick Moran at the American Thinker, 26 April 2010, link:

As long as I can remember, I have thought it a mistake to try to contact other life forms. I remember 2 March 1962's Twilight Zone episode, "To Serve Man". Here's a link:
