| Martian mastermind |
There was a 1953 campy, now cult, movie entitled "Invaders from Mars." In the film, the Martian humanoids were under total costal of a super brain, mastermind, in a glass sphere. Was this a mildly prescient scenario? m/r
Seeing Stephen Hawking Off
March 21, 2017
We assume he won’t be in a hurry to get back.
Years ago, as I sat at a local Los Angeles Coffee
Bean, the windows started to shake and the ground started to move, and a
homeless man started to scream “this is the end.” This being my first
“awake quake,” I wasn’t sure which was more disconcerting, the shaking
or the homeless man screaming. My friend, an L.A. native and a
recovering addict, assured me that the quake was mild, and that many an
addict wished that the world would come to an end. When I inquired why,
he explained: well if the world were to be destroyed, those left would
be on an equal playing field. When I, in turn, responded “yes, but they
would still need drugs,” he responded that it wasn’t exactly a
well-thought-out plan.
Every time Stephen Hawking types, I am
reminded of that homeless man. He has this notion of constant doom and
gloom, of the universe ending. A notion shared by Mr. Hawking and so
many on the left. Rod Serling, who probably was one of the greatest
writers of all time, had a constant theme through almost all Twilight Zone
episodes. That theme was “forget about external, out of this world
enemies”— if they do exist, we don’t need them to destroy us, we are
doing a pretty darn good job of it by ourselves. There is no better
example of this than Mr. Hawking and his cohorts on the left, thinking
the climate is more of an imminent danger than Islamic terrorism, or
this North Korean Garbage Pail Kid.Sure, the climate and weather patterns are a tad hinkey, but if we allow the world to continue to burn, and let every dictator and regime acquire weaponry of destruction, there really won’t be much of a conversation. So, maybe there is a deal to be made. If the left can acknowledge that terrorism is the imminent threat, and not the seas rising, the caps melting, and the cows farting, then we can start to have a discussion about the seriousness of climate change. When the left can assure those of us, a bit worried, about the “climate” of absolute terror being perpetrated throughout the world, and the need to, at the very least, acknowledge it, then, and only then, can a conversation start.
How people on the left do not understand the concept that if you are dead, you can’t speak, is beyond me. ...
