he's no yoda
It's no secret that the movie E.T. scared the living be-jeebies outa me, I'll admit that openly. In fact, instead of leading the freaky pile of anamantronic mud into my house, I would have found some sort of shot gun. But alien-hating aside, I have a point to make about life in the universe based on the national geographic channel's exploration of martian life. Labels: E.T. vs Yoda
The show I was watching had lots of people talking, you know how they do: two people talk in seperate places about their extreme, totally loony theories, none of which apply to me. This program also gave another person, one who was semi neutral. Instead of defending a foul ball, he came in and said, "I don't belive in this because of this, this, and this. Now here's why it doesn't matter either way..." I liked him...
Anyway, there was one guy on there who said, "I think one day we're going to search up all the planets in this solar system, and when we do, and we find no life, finally we will look at the earth as a special place that provides something to the entire universe." Sure I don't want aliens attacking earth, but I'm not going to go as far as to assume that in such an expansive area of space that is the universe, we are the only living things. In fact, didn't they find bacteria on mars already, or am I the only on that remembers that?
Sorry, I keep getting off track.
After that one annoying dude made his speil, the narrator came back with something profound, "Even when compared to our worst martian attack nightmares, isn't solitude more frightening?"
And I agree. Who the hell wants to look at the billions and trillions of stars and solar systems and think to themselves, I'm completely alone here. No one would want to look at the earth as the only human inhabitant, hell the only living inhabitant, so what's the difference in the universe? I understand that the unkown is a bit creepy, and I'm the last person to want to bring E.T. back, but as long as they keep to themselves like we do, can't there be others out there?
