"The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs and explosions and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices - to be found only in the minds of men. For the record, prejudices can kill and suspicion can destroy, and a thoughtless, frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all of its own - for the children, and the children yet unborn. And the pity of it is that these things cannot be confined to the Twilight Zone."

First Alien:	Understand the procedure now? Just stop a few of their machines and radios and telephones and lawn mowers, throw them into darkness for a few hours, and then sit back and watch the pattern.
Second Alien:	And this pattern is always the same?
First Alien:	With few variations. They pick the most dangerous enemy they can find, and it's themselves. All we need do is sit back and watch.
Second Alien:	Then I take it this place, this Maple Street, is not unique?
First Alien:	By no means. Their world is full of Maple Streets. And we'll go from one to the other and let them destroy themselves, one to the other, one to the other, one to the other...

Speaking of Twilight Zone, there will be a TZ marathon on SciFi. I think it starts New Years day. Might be New Years eve. Should be good though. Bobbi http://www.buzzbyte.com
