   Here is KLAATU dialog (and I will post  Albert Einstein's same message that he   
   has repeated a million times)   
      
      
                          KLAATU   
                                 (straightforwardly,   
                                 with almost stern   
                                 authority)   
                            I am leaving soon and you will forgive   
                            me if I speak bluntly.   
      
                            The Universe grows smaller every day --   
                            and the threat of aggression by any   
                            group -- anywhere -- can no longer   
                            be tolerated.   
      
                           There must be security for all -- or   
                            no one is secure... This does not   
                            mean giving up any freedom except   
                            the freedom to act irresponsibly.   
      
      
                           Your ancestors knew this when they   
                            made laws to govern themselves --   
                            and hired policemen to enforce them.   
      
      
                            We of the other planets have long   
                            accepted this principle. We have an   
                            organization for the mutual protection   
                            of all planets -- and for the complete   
                            elimination of aggression. A sort of   
                            United Nations on the Planetary   
                            level... The test of any such higher   
                            authority, of course, is the police   
                            force that supports it. For our   
                            policemen, we created a race of robots--   
      
                            Their function is to patrol the   
                            planets -- in space ships like this   
                            one -- and preserve the peace. In   
                            matters of aggression we have given   
                            them absolute power over us.   
      
                            At the first sign of violence they   
                            act automatically against the   
                            aggressor. And the penalty for   
                            provoking their action is too terrible   
                            to risk.   
      
                            The result is that we live in peace,   
                            without arms or armies, secure in   
                            the knowledge that we are free from   
                            aggression and war -- free to pursue   
                            more profitable enterprises.   
      
                            We do not pretend to have achieved   
                            perfection -- but we do have a system --   
                            and it works.   
      
                            I came here to give you the facts.   
                            It is no concern of ours how you run   
                            your own planet -- but if you threaten   
                            to extend your violence, this Earth   
                            of yours will be reduced to a burned-   
                            out cinder.   
      
      
      
      
      
      
      
      
      
   --   
   The Starmaker -- To question the unquestionable, ask the unaskable,   
    to think the unthinkable, mention the unmentionable, say the unsayable, and   
   challenge   
    the unchallengeable.
