question of the weekend: If aliens visited, what would you be embarrassed to have to admit about the human race?

This weekend’s question was inspired by astrophysicist, head honcho at the Hayden Planetarium at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, and all-around awesome dude Neil deGrasse Tyson, who tweeted this recently:

If aliens did visit us, I’d be embarrassed to tell them we still dig fossil fuels from the ground as a source of energy.

So:

If aliens visited, what would you be embarrassed to have to admit about the human race?

I might be embarrassed to admit that we let people go hungry or get ill not because of a lack of food or medicine but because of political maneuvering and/or a lack of political will.

You?
