I think collective humanity would respond:

"Can I sell them something? No? Then who cares?"

wasn't there a twilight zone episode about this?  aliens had invaded a town, and caused a power outage and people grew fearful of the unknown, which led them to turn on each other.  the aliens were able to destroy the town without actually attacking anyone.  I guess the moral was that we're just so brutish by nature, that in times of peril, we'll just kill ourselves or each other because of prejudices ... or something along those lines.

The episode was titled, "The monsters on maple street"  (one of the best episodes!)

Damn straight. Like many people, I believe that the Twilight Zone is the foremost resource on human nature.
