Isn't it ironic that many of the people that wish to ban or burn books will be the first to claim freedom of speech to protect their won coice and opposition? I guess they want their cake and be able to eat it too.
So you set up your own "So You Think You Can Dance' show. I'm sure it went over well.
I love the idea of not wasting the banquet and inviting the homeless to enjoy. That was pretty special. I also got a kick out of the boy's reaction to his stuffed wolf being sewn up. Kids are just so adorable.
I'm not sure you can really define the 'point,' as you put it, because there are a myriad of factors involved and they can vary with the different individuals you come into contact with.
And what will they find next under the retreating glacier? An ancient settlement or something that will shock us even more? These could be very interesting times.
aditus, I don't think it's funny that you liked the open ending to this story, because that's why I wrote it this way. Seeing we all have different beliefs about the existence of extra-terrestrials and how they might respond, be it friendly or hostile, I felt I'd leave it up for each individual to decide on their own. Who knows? Maybe they'll just ignore us, feeling they've done all they can, or their race might have even gone extinct. Thanks for reading and commenting.
Thanks for the feedback Ron. Yes, it seems as if the aliens were there to help bring mankind out of the stone age and left an artifact that was capable of finding a way to notify them if sufficient progress was made. The thing is, are they still there to receive the message?
I'm glad you thought that it fit in with the theme.
RJ, thanks for the feedback and I'm glad you enjoyed this. I would think that any message would be that humanity has now reached the point where they were capable of activating this device and causing the message to transmit. If that alien race hasn't gone extinct, then they are probably deciding what their next move should be, if any.
I'll reserve my judgment and enthusiasm until I see the finished project. These things can be highly risky and could just as easily be a flop as well as a success. .
Robin is supposed to be a supporting character, but I'm not sure JB's ego would allow him to be other than the star and central focus of the movie, so this would in no way be a good fit. What would they do, turned his heavily gelled spiked hair into a weapon?
I was impressed and it was written in a way that could include many other areas, so it shouldn't draw the severe backlash it might if it was obviously an LGBT anthem. People will get the message, even if they choose to ignore it. Remember, straight people can be brave too, when they stick up for giving the LGBT the right to marry and enjoy the same benefits as the rest of society. It isn't just about coming out.
Thanks for the feedback, Percy. Yes, I did about 40 or 50 hours of research on the subject matter before I began, because this is an area that intrigues me. I'm glad it paid off and you enjoyed it.
Thanks, MJ. I know for some people the idea of alien life is a joke, but I think humans are incredibly naive and arrogant to think we are alone in this vast universe.
