[ WP ] You discover that Earth is the `` North Korea '' of the galaxy

`` Why does n't the council do anything about them?'' 
 
 The slightly annoyed general looks up from his paper, the headline `` EARTH GETTING CLOSER TO SENDING MANNED FLIGHT TO MARS'' emblazoned across the back. Figuring he was never going to get past the first paragraph of the sports page without his wife interrupting him, he decided to humor her. `` The council does n't need to do anything. We've been watching the earthlings climb out of their primordial ooze for generations now and the only thing we've gotten is bored.'' 
 
 This seemed to settle Susan a little bit, but she still had to ask the million dollar question on everyone's mind on their home planet `` Thudra''. Pronounced Thuh-oo-druh. `` If the humans had such potential to be dangerous, why do n't we just wipe them out? Our military should be more than capable of doing it at minimal cost.'' 
 
 Having reread the same two sentences of the sports page seven times already he looks up with a minor irritation and a flick of the paper -- he sighs. `` The humans are only a danger to themselves. Their beliefs and motivations have n't transcended to the superego plain that we are so familiar with; therefore, their progress will never amount to much.'' 
 
 Finally Susan seemed to accept this as an answer and got back to smeching the shaboingen leaving The General Kim Jong Un to his paper. 
 
 `` Besides honey, I ca n't go into detail because of work an everything, but we have counter measures in place that will ensure the humans will never progress. The best part is, yours truly is head of the operation so I get to take a trip to Earth.''
