Alien (A): "I've traveled across space to check on the progress of your species."
Human (H): "Cool. Shall I take you to our leader?"
A: "Your what?"
H: "Our leader. The guy in charge."
A: "The guy in charge of what?"
H: "Well, in charge of everything."
A: "You have one guy in charge of everything?"
H: "No, no. He's in charge of Government."
A: "What is 'Government'?"
H: "Well, Government makes the rules for us. It tells us what we can do, and what we can't do."
A: "So, Government is really smart? They come up with wise rules for you to follow?"
H" "Well, mostly. But some of its rules really are stupid."
A: "Do you disregard those rules?"
H: "No we have to follow the rules, even if they are stupid or we disagree with them. Government punishes anyone who disobeys the rules."
A: "So, you are a slave to government?"
H: "No, no. It's not like that at all. Government works for us, the people. It serves us. We are the boss."
A: "It tells YOU what to do. And it punishes YOU with violence if you disobey it. And, yet, you're it's boss?"
H: "Yeah."
A: "But there are some things government does that you don't like?"
H: "Well, yeah. Not everything government does is popular. Like, spending on wars, for example."
A: "What is a 'war'"?
H: "It's when the Government spends the people's money on weapons and soldiers and sends them over to the other side of the world to kill a bunch of people over there and destroy their country. I don't like that the Government does this."

The fact is, there IS weird 'weather' happening on other planets in our solar system and observers are at a loss explaining why!
To say nothing of the weirdness happening on our own planet:
