  1. Attack of the Perials Aliens from the planet Peria have landed on Earth. Their technology is light-years beyond ours, and thus our defenses are no match to their advanced weaponry. They want to take our water supply for their cosmic slip-n-slide. So long as we comply and help them drain our oceans and lakes (working for 3 earth-cents an hour), they will let us live and impart some technological know-how upon us. What will you do? Accept? Attack? Some other strategy? Answer in a paragraph on a scratch piece of paper.
