Michael Crichton - State of Fear

[Ozmale]

Not a powerful, deeply significant work of literature this - just a light read but....

I was interested to see someone put into writing what I have been saying for years regarding the enviro movement, global warming, research funding and the relationship of politics to science.

You must have fear to control the people....

Now does that mean I am some kind of urban prophet/guru or am I just as stupid as M. Crichton?

PS Did you know some idiots wrote letters to papers down here blaming global warming for the Tsunanmi that struck Asia....now there is fear working for you! Even one editorial drew a connection between environmental concerns and the waves?!?!?!

Too bad they couldn't warn about the tsunami in advance since they are so damn smart...I wonder how they would explain the big tsunami that hit the same area in the late 1800's.
