I like that quote as well. It is sadly true, we are getting closer to just wiping each other out with powerful weaponry that will reduce us to bare essentials.

Why would Aliens want to communicate with us? No matter their level of technology, it wouldn't be beneficial for them. They are weaker, we would try to conquer them and use them as slaves (nothing about Human rights in regards to Aliens). They are stronger, we would try to steal their technology to destroy them (out of fear that they would destroy us). If they are equal, we would feel that they could gain the upper hand and would seek to lower their power.
