Good for Michael Crichton and his State of Fear. It has been too easy for enviromentalists to extrapolate certain findings into potential disasters. We are prone to worry about anything that represents change, to think the worst of the future. The British thought they were running out of coal, in the late 1800's. Didn't happen. Worried about bringing diseases back from the moon. Never found a bug up there, no life forms of any kinds that I have heard about. Everyone worried about the h-bombs and the cold war. Sold lots of shelters, built cities underground. Needlessly. They worried a lot about the effect of oil pipe lines in Alaska on the environment. I have never been to Alaska, do not plan to go. I know only one person who went there, by sea and airplane. He had no reason to look for caribou or polar bears, which are mighty dangerous creatures. Can see them better in a zoo. which ensures their survival even if Alaska disappears completely. They worried about using credit cards on Web purchases but now it is common practice. They worried about putting a stranger in the White house. Did'nt happen (hehehehehehehe)_ Now they are worried about a civil war in Iraq. Its not going to happen while GWB is charge. They worry about genetically altered crops and nuclear storage provisions. One of the biggest worries today is about being overweight, while those who claim without proof that they have the answers are making fortunes off diet books and sale of special foods. Now we have to find a way to keep them from killing Santa Clause and taking the joy out of Christmas. Where in He$$ do those worrywarts come from.? Sig
