That may have been true 50 years ago, but today the very definition of community is changing. Thanks to technology we live in a *global* community. And the problems we face can't be solved exclusively at the local level. Zika was confirmed this morning in south Florida. So is this a local problem we should try to solve in isolation or should the best and brightest work together to tackle the issue for the benefit of the global community?

I have always agreed with the philosophy that "making the world a better place begins in your own backyard." Positive change has always started at the local level. But somehow saying that "globalism and global thinking has led to the destruction of the family and local neighborhood" is myopic and self-defeating.

There are local problems and there are global problems. Both require human intelligence and cooperation to solve. But back to the topic of Tomorrowland and purple rocks. WDW's Tomorrowland used to inspire guests by sharing and promoting an optimistic vision of the future. Today's Tomorrowland, with a prisoner transfer station and intergalactic war as themes for attractions sadly reflects a much darker (or at the very least, socially irrelevant) future.

Disney has an opportunity to turn things around in Tomorrowland. But it will take much more than purple rocks to fix the problem.

A Sci Fi extension of Fantasyland under the "Tomorrow that Never Was" maxim (but the franchises actually should be Sci Fi...not Monsters Inc) would be perfectly suitable......would be, if Epcot was still bringing the "goods" down the road.

Getting pictures of some freaking rocks is more difficult then getting intelligent answers from some politicians. Apparently, they only exist in someones imagination.

 

[WDW862]

Any pictures or is everyone to busy talking about politics?

so have they started this or not? I'm starting to think this is just a false rumor (until I see pics).

They're real.

Here's what it may look like. I know it's not the best editing.

at first I didn't care about purple rocks... but then I wondered what the whole mess might look like...

Then I realized that every other refurb or paint job gets like 40 photos of a ladder or a mound of dirt and yet no one has produced a single photo of these purple rocks... I'm pretty sure there's a conspiracy at work here.

Look at my post again.

 

[Stitchon]

Sleek and minimalist is sexy again, and they paint the rocks an alien color instead of getting rid of em. Meh.

Too soon!

Just left MK, spent most of the night in TL and rode the TTA. Didn't see a single purple rock anywhere.

Too soon!

Sorry - loved it too!

Enjoy the orange rock while it lasts!
