Curse You, Buckaroo
In order to understand this film you have to know a little bit about the Orson Welles 1938 radio broadcast of War of the Worlds. You could say that Orson Welles pioneered shock radio when he performed this story live on the radio in the form of a special news bulletin, informing audiences that aliens had landed in Grovers Mills, New Jersey. At the time this show aired, audiences in New Jersey actually believed the story, sending mass hysteria throughout the state. It wasn't until the end of the program that he admitted the whole thing was a hoax.
The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once.

Quote of the Day
Dr. Helen asked, What are your favorite science-fiction books? Best response so far:
I like the New York Times, the Washington Post, Huffington, and the LA Times.CNN is also pretty good as is the BBC.All present a very bizarre picture of an alternate reality, like a parallel universe or a different dimension loosely based on the real world.I don't like MSNBC because it has no connexion whatsoever to reality, it's pure fanatasy.

Flash Fiction - The Agency
We have always been here.
If you view three dimensional space from a perpendicular angle, space appears two dimensional. When applied to the fourth dimension, it is perceived as time across the spatial dimensions. When you learn to navigate all four dimensions, one is a god.
We always will be here.
I exist, from the start to the finish, and back again. If God created Man in His image, do we posses the capacity to be gods? We can create new worlds and creatures to populate them by the twenty-fourth century, so we possess more than simply destructive capabilities, though some gods operate as such. Many think them beyond their peers, deserving of so much more, they use their power out of aggression, to suppress their peers, to rise above all, boot firmly on the neck of those lesser beings.
I am not one of those, simply a humble individual blessed with enlightenment. To rise beyond limitations through light removes that yearn for domination through force. We see the light in all, even when they do not see it in themselves. Everyone simply needs positive encouragement. That is what those of us in the Agency believe, and our duty is not to intervene, but to guide and encourage, as a parent to a child. Out motives are to guarantee a future in which both of us exist. We have seen a future in which the second falls with the first, so we are vested in survival.
By the twenty-seventh century, this fourth dimension was unlocked, and with it came the faults of Man. "We can be gods," many believed. And some tried. The destabilization which resulted was the foundation for the efforts of the Agency; we would protect time and space. But time is like water; it is always patient, it always finds a way.
