The New Klaatu Asks Why |

...but Scott, you took the aliens perspective OUT of perspective.
The environmental slant is a disservice to the still verey relevent angle of TDTESS's story. Klaatu didn't care if we blew ourselves to hell in a handbasket, just as long as we didn't take the universe with us. And THAT was a direct analogy for the nuclear capable countries of the world constantly threatening war against each other, while ignoring the billions of other people who would be affected by their stupid wars. This idea STILL applies, so why change the scope of the story???

@AmishJohn: That gun metaphor makes no sense at all considering this isn't about weapons and war but pollution. They aren't trying to stop violence from spreading by using violence, but willing to kill to save a house in a housing shortage.
