The point folks are missing about the movie "The Day After".

[trumad]

Awareness....

Oh sure we've got a couple of err...brilliant folks here on DU who are yelling that the movie was bunk and bad science. No Shit...and it's quite amusing how loud they are yelling. Uhhh..oh brilliant ones, uhhh we know that this is highly unlikely that this will not happen in our lifetime or even in our kids lifetime.SO thanks for letting us know how brilliant you are!

Too say it will "never happen" is typical of the mindset of folks who could give a rats ass about the future of the world. Global Warming is real is it not? The concept of the Polar Ice Caps melting from a warmer earth is real, is it not? (For that matter it's already happening)

Ocean temperature changes could occur from melting Ice Caps, could it not? That salt in the ocean is a good thing is it not? and so on and so forth and so on....

When I walked out of the movie with my kids, they were full of questions about the movie. I explained the concept of Global Warming to them and simply stated that this world should start moving towards alternative fuels. My hope is that my kids generation isn't as greedy and arrogant as the generations before them.,... SO..maybe, just maybe, this movie will help kick off a mindset that will slow the future destruction of this earth.... Awareness...that's why this movie is so damn important and that is why the Repukes are having a Cow.. The concept of the Republican party is to keep Middle America as ignorant as possible while they are raping Mother Earth.
