Did anyone ever see Final Fantasy?

You know, that incredible sci-fi digital animation movie? Do you remember how in the movie Gaia (Earth) was dying? Well, I am reading a book called Hyperion and it touches on this (slightly) as well. I'm starting to wonder if maybe the Earth's spirit actually is in jeopardy. Not like it's on the verge of death, or even in any immediate danger, but maybe Gaia is just depressed and giving up.

What's more is that it occurred to me that maybe all these tens of thousands of so-called depressed people are more attuned to Gaia's resignation/depression, and maybe that's why they are depressed?

Okay, feel free to call me a hokey-hippy-stoner now.

P.S. I just got a $116.80 check from Blockbuster because I worked there just after college and they are comping me for meals or something. Does anyone know anything about this?
