The day the earth stood still.

Movies.....everyone loves them at one time or another. They have a way to speak to us. This 2008 version has some differences from the original 1951 version, but both versions are very good in exacting a message.

Now whether you believe in UFO's and other life out in the very vast and infinite universe or not, the projected message is powerful as to what is happening to Mother Earth. We have much more technology today, powerful telescopes and machines with camera's to see other planets, and great minds who specialize in science. I watched a show on the history or discovery channel the other night about life on other planets and how scientists are discovering that yes, it's very very possible. By life, I am not speaking of human beings. I am talking about various cells and anti bodies that can survive in tar like substances (even though we believe that water is the essence of all life) and some cells can survive in gases and other different types of possibilities.

Back to the movie. It speaks of problems surrounding mother earth. These problems are caused by yep, none other than us. The pollutants, holes in ozone layers, smog and how destructive humans are not only to the planet but also to each other. The movie brings up excellent points and we are seeing things happen at a more rapid pase. Extreme dry weather in some places which cause fires to rage, extreme rain in other areas to cause terrible floods, the melting of our glaciers at an alarming rate and the rise of sea levels are just a few. We may experience more tornados, hurricanes, tsunami's, earth quakes......So what are we to do? Gas, oil, electric companies are rich, while our wallets, purses and earth suffer. If we keep going like this, what future do our children and grand-children have to look forward to? Their world will be consisting of the horror of the movie the day after tomorrow (2004). Many species will evaporate as if they were the fabled unicorn.

I do not know the answers and what we should do, but I know it does ponder on my mind. What could it hurt to get our officials to think of alternatives and solutions to the problem. Show these to the President. Some states have started making changes with rails like subways and buses. All states need to participate in this change not just two or three. If we lead, perhaps other countries will see this threat also and take it more seriously. They do have amazing and brillant scientists also. We all have contributed to this problem and it will take us all to help with the solution.

What do you think?
