The Price Of Freedom: Kill All The Martians!

Yet, across the gulf of space, minds that are to our minds as ours are to those of the beasts that perish, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, [But sexy! — M.B.] regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us.

— H. G. Wells, The War of the Worlds.

From the Topps' bubble gum card series.

There's something seriously wrong here: This reporter isn't even one-sixth as loony as attempted Martian-killer Kyle Odom, yet Odom can afford guns & airline tickets, & I'm stuck here w/ only a devil-box & righteous rhetoric to defend myself from the over-sexed Martian Queers surrounding us. Help!!
