After having been bombarded for weeks at Wal-Mart with the anticipation of "Monsters, Inc.", we followed the flock and bought a copy of the DVD and watched it last night. It's a great flick, and Becca even likes it. =)
A goofy country song on the radio this morning got me thinking briefly on that whole "immovable object vs. irresistable force" question. I don't really think it's all that hard to solve. Simply put, there is no such thing as an immovable object. On a planetary scale, everything is moving, even the entire universe moves and expands. Thus, if everything is always moving, it's kind of hard to say that something "can't be moved". I think the whole concept of something that could not be moved is a rather small-minded idea based upon human observance of objects limited to our planet that seem really big to us, like a mountain or something. But obviously even mountains can be moved, if only by mere mortals. Thus, no matter how big of something you can think of, or no matter how well "rooted" is it, I think it can be moved. If you think of something that truly can not stopped from moving, like a comet or a black hole or the force of gravity or something, no little mountain or a mile high, mile wide, mile deep solid cube of concrete or steel or whatever you think might be fairly stationary can stop something that big and "irresistable" from moving along it's path. It's a nice theory, but the fact that there really is nothing truly "immovable" kind of solves the whole issue right off the bat, don't you think?
