David Suzuki was allowed to do a fundraiser/indoctrination session at my kids school about 15 years ago. He told the kids they had 10 years to save the planet or we were all gonna die. He was touring the nation in a motor home that got 12 miles a gallon and lecturing everyone while drinking water out of a Styrofoam cup. He was railing against the evils of Capitalism and Christianity while extolling the virtues of Socialism and some sort of undefined pseudo mysticism. I asked him if he'd ever been to China or Eastern Europe and witnessed first hand the environmental Utopia that socialism has brought the people who live there? He cut me off and had a little hissy fit. He has almost as much credibility as Al Gore, but not quite.

Hopefully, huge octopuses will land out of the sky one of these days and save us from ourselves. -g- "[The octopus has] an amazing skin, because there are up to 20 million of these chromatophore pigment cells and to control 20 million of anything is going to take a lot of processing power. ... These animals have extraordinarily large, complicated brains to make all this work. ... And what does this mean about the universe and other intelligent life? The building blocks are potentially there and complexity will arise. Evolution is the force that's pushing that. I would expect, personally, a lot of diversity and a lot of complicated structures. It may not look like us, but my personal view is that there is intelligent life out there." — Roger T. Hanlon
