Fermi's paradox suggests that there are little or no other intelligent
civilizations within the Milky Way galaxy.

No, that is not waht the Fermi paradox suggests.  Fermi only posed the
question that, *given certain assumptions*, where is all the intelligent
life?

If usenet intelligence is any indicator then the species on
this planet are barely capable of finding, much less keeping track of, their own
backsides ... much less worrying about
intelligent anything anywhere else.
