@GracieGirl,
When I saw the Day the Earth Stood Still, I was very young, and very frightened, and I had to put myself to bed and tell myself it wasn't real... I still find the concept frightning... The idea of an impartial, heartless law set over everyone is all about us, and does not work, which does not stop people from looking to law for solutions... Law soes not work, so people demand more law, and then, more law still without realizing the the supposed solution is the cause of most of the problems... Primitives never had super max prisons, or insane Asylums either, and they did not kill everyone who was guilty and they did not have cops on every corner, or lawyers in every pocket... They figured out how to live socially as we have not...
