So cross breeding with a different race could be a good thing if someone discovers how to isolate a virus that will only kill other races? Or it could be just the opposite if you are not "pure bred". World's population could drop by 50-90% depending on who comes up with the most deadly virus first? Or worse?
Ugh! I'd rather just worry about having to wear a mask.
GOE, as always, humans gonna human. It might not be a bad thing for extraterrestrials to show up and take over. We don't have enough sense to get along with each other, so why not? In regard to our country, mainstream society has long gotten away with an attitude of, "I have a big stick, so I can do anything I want to do with you. And there's nothing you can do about it." Now, emerging nations and defiant religio-political factions are answering, "I have a big stick too, and can hurt you as much as you hurt me." In some cases, it's not necessarily military sticks but economic power, like the Saudis and Iranians. Certain ones like the Islamics and Asians have something we lack-PATIENCE. We can bomb the heck out of them. But they just patiently fight on waiting for us to give up and go home with our tails between our legs. Vietnam, Syria, and Afghanistan are the most recent examples of this.
The USA missed its chance by not living up to the ideals in its own Constitution. And failing to practice what we preached to other nations. Instead, the USA engaged in greed-fueled predatory behavior. Yet doing a few good deeds here and there to portray itself as a benevolent, peace-loving country. But folks have now realized the lie and are reacting accordingly. Humans being what they are, copycat the behavior in a turnabout is fair play manner. Then our country decries how (insert derogatory term here) the (insert ethnic group or derogatory term here) are. No, we're not the only
bad guys, we're the most visible and consistent practitioners of bad guyism in the eyes of those we participated in exploiting. Basically, we're seeing the chickens coming home to roost. The saddest thing of all is our country is tearing itself apart with the same old historical hate-attitude, just when we need to come together against emerging external threats. Yet appear too stupid to realize or accept this. And our national rivals are taking full advantage of this overtly and covertly across the globe. It feels almost like we want our country to be overthrown.
