In fact for many of us, it seems more logical to assume that we're not the only planet in the entire universe with intelligent life.
And it's not really any comfort to tell yourself that they're "probably not that different from us", is it? Because we all know what we would probably do if we landed on a strange planet and encountered a strange looking creature... we would shoot it, or perhaps experiment on it... and if we couldn't find a way to communicate with it, or it seemed to be less intelligent than us, it would be "dinner".

Exactly! I've always gone back and forth with being a true believer in aliens, but I've always been terrified by the thought, and it's always been because I know that humans would mess with them if given the opportunity.
There was this segment in the movie Cartoon Noir that put animations over real recordings of people talking about their "abductions" that sent me over the edge. I don't think it was even meant to disturb but that stuff gives me the willies so bad.
