And while I was dreaming it, I was thinking (on the side) "Hey! This might be a good play!"
Anyway, the dream was, Earth was on Trial.
Seems the universe had just gotten a little too cramped, and so the Masters of the Universe had come to the decision that one planet in our solar system just had to go -- be eliminated. They looked at all the planets, and decided earth was the least "universe-friendly" of the lot. Cranked out a lot of pollution, left junk floating around in space, etc., and so there was a trial.
When I woke up, I wondered what arguments both the prosecution and the defense would present, and I thought it might be a fun exercise to explore. If we had to argue for the preservation of earth, in this scenario, what would we say? What would be the selling points for allowing this planet to remain, at the cost of another? Are there any good arguments? Is Earth a "good neighbor" in terms of the universe? Honestly, I can't think of one good reason we should be allowed to stay, when compared to other, more docile and less intrusive planets.
This could be a good play! Lots of ways it can go, too. Sort of like The Day the Earth Stood Still meets Class Action.
Who would the panel of "Masters of the Universe" consist of? Is there a representative from each planet or simply each galaxy? Are they human or a variety of lifeforms?
I know your post was looking for reasons why we (Earth) should stay, but before I can post good reasons, I need to know who I'm arguing in front of. *wink*
Not sure how many, but in my dream there were four prominent ones, who all looked like Roswell aliens meet the Ghost of Chirstmas Past, or something. And they wore hooded robes. And they were reeeeeeeeeally tall. If they were human, they were all signed with the NBA.
Don't you just hate it, when you can't get 'em out of those stuffed pumpkin suits, no matter how hard you try?
lol whats the pups name again? that is one fine looking dog!
Stitch. Most of the time, that is. Like myself, she's been called worse. ;) The reality is she'll answer to anything that ends in "cookie, beach or car".
So, this is the ultimate answer to what ever became of Pluto? It was a celestial sacrifice? The arrogance and self importance of "humans", we simply give Pluto up as a sacrifice.
not up to our planetary standards,,,sniff,,,
Maybe they picked Earth because it's the only planet not named after a Greek God. Of course that's "Earth lingo" but I'm sure they had translators, and maybe that clinched it for 'em, or something. (Poor Pluto was discovered in Flagstaff AZ, BTW. I used to go to that observatory a lot ... with "a friend." <wink wink> But that's another story.)
^^^ And, sometimes it's a very good place to be. In between a woman and her dreams. <BD
indeed! ---------------- But really, I have one question. How quickly did you have to grab the camera and shoot this pic?
I got her beach ready, asked her to "sit" and took the pic. Period.<BD
That's "beach ready?" Did Psych used to tend bar at your beach?
a lifejacket and glasses? and the rest au natural? sounds like a good day at da beach to me:) cept the life jacket can chafe a bit.
This dog loves dress up. She wore a stuffed Pumpkin costume for days one year. <BD
Don't you just hate it, when you can't get 'em out of those stuffed pumpkin suits, no matter how hard you try?

Are you telling me Buck doesn't have a pair of shades? I mean I understand his not having a life preserver, but really, shades? <BD
The dew rag the groomer tied around his neck was almost more than he could bear, even though we told him a hundred times how even MORE handsome it made him look. It came off within the first hour he was home ... of his own doing.
bucks more the classic dresser perhaps a vest or a nice blazer?
If I were to photoshop this she might just get that Ear Job she's been asking for.
---------------------------------------
"Ear job" LOL.
Buck just wants the corrective laser eye surgery:
I've never had a dog who could abide anything close to dress up. I mean, not even those dumbass little reindeer antlers.
My critters submit to costuming only in Photoshop.
LOL did he have sarah for lunch?
My critters are victims of my repressed flamboyant affectations. Too damned bad, I hold the COOKIES, as long as I have the cookies she does where's what I say! <bbbbbbwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaahhhh>
BTW, I get the "kapewy" thing, my head just cannot fit another ounce of gloom.
You should see what I have the fish dressed in tonight. ;)

this would be a very interesting play. sorta scopes trial only larger?
its all seemingly good in comparison to those black hole gobblers. whats that about do you suppose? maybe that is good. the universe with its own spin cycle? in ya go and out ya come as lil bits of stardust to fertilize the nebulae? if the universe is a 2 dimensional turn back on a 3d world maybe what we crank out on one end comes back on the other? but where does the detritus go?
if we were to consider tossing earth can we then think of the earth as something stand alone that might be separated from the whole to be tossable? dunno. would the dark energy that stands between us and the others then fill the void or would we suck everything with us?
reasons to be. a blink of an eyelash. a grand experiment. the master plan. a necessary evil. the potential for what is to be fulfilled. water. snow. sun. joy. a voice to record what it all means.
reasons to jettison earth. humanity in its less desirous forms. waste products. war. base societies. hubris.

So, this is the ultimate answer to what ever became of Pluto? It was a celestial sacrifice? The arrogance and self importance of "humans", we simply give Pluto up as a sacrifice. We are NOT good neighbors to nearby planets, can't be. Not as long as we don't respect the people, resources and properties of the one we're on. Well, I don't want to spoil an intense dream. I never want to get in the middle of a woman and her dream, that can be a bad place.
Dream on...
Ummm, well, no ... when I said "eliminate" I meant "Poof!" "Buh Bye" "KaPEWY" "Gone." "Exterminated."
