Other intelligent Lifeforms

I would love for humans meet up with another lifeform... although the thought scares me also, they could look at us as we do with the animals here on earth.

It is my opinion that there are E.T.s above and beyond us that view us as lab rats that scurry about. We follow our pre-mapped lines that keep us within in our boundaries (Paved roads) where we are pointed in a direction and told this is where you will drive your motor vehicle, traffic will oppose you and you will abide. Yes i do believe we as a race have some of the brightest minds one could imagine, BUT to what do we compare intelligence? What if there is something out there that makes our smartest humans look like cave men? This is and will always be one of the most fascinating and theoretial discussions that i choose to participate in.
