So I got my mom the Disney-Pixar movie Wall-E for Christmas. Wonderful movie. But has anyone thought about what the makers may have been trying to say through it? Because when I watch it, I get this vibe that they were trying to say something along the lines of "Hey, lazy, fat, and non-lazy, fat, Americans, look whats gonna happen in 102 years. Your fat and lazy and wastefulness is going to leave us suffocating in our own smog and dust if you're not careful."
So what's to take from this cute, robot love story? Don't be silly. Don't be wasteful. Love the earth before we're all pushed out into space by some head "Buy 'N Large," or Wal*Mart, as the case may be, president. Not that living in space would be such a bad thing, but I personally don't think that if God intended us to live in space at all, it wouldn't be because the Earth is uninhabitable. I did, after all, spend two of the better weeks of my summer learning about the fact that God does want us to "Handle with Care" the planet He has so graciously given us.

So maybe it's just me, and maybe I'm just reading into things too deeply, but I think that we could all learn a thing or two from the robot that was left behind. You break, you buy it, you spill it, you clean it up, you make a mess, and you have to take care of it. So why waste time sitting around waiting for it to get bad enough that we have to send the robots in? Go ahead and clean some things up, make use of your amazing ability to recycle, sing the R-E-C-Y-C-L-E song loud and proud so all can hear, because, let's face it, best song ever.

Though it is an unfortunate truth, that if the human population continues to grow that eventually no matter what we do we wont be able to live here anymore. But I'd give it a few hundred years before thats ever going enter people's mind's as a viable problem that can affect us now (then). Recycle now...not do much in the long run, but hey, I'm a cynic.
We could move to another solar system and terraform the planets to our liking... or perhaps I'm obsessed.

You really need to learn the song "Biodegradable". Teehee. My sister knows all of the words to it, and that should tell you what kind of song it is!
