		<description>Well said, Terrye.  I wouldn&#039;t call it &quot;fear&quot; of terrorism (or communism), but a healthy respect for the damage it can do is necessary to survival.



And your brother sounds like my brother.  Are you sure we&#039;re not related?

		<description>IVV doesn&#039;t understand that we don&#039;t live in fear, when we do, the nukes come out.



Does IVV understand America&#039;s core?

		<description>Crichton&#039;s footnotes in &quot;State of Fear&quot; are factual.  It&#039;s an excellent read, jam-packed with facts you can shove up enviro-nazis&#039; butts.  He also has a speech on bad science, the gist of which is, consensus among scientists does not good science make.  It reminded me of Red Buttons hosting a celebrity roast:  Did Copernicus have consensus? No. Galileo?  Etc, etc. If I can find it, I&#039;ll post a link.

		<description>The point about fearing Islamofascism is not to fear that unless we stop them, there will be worldwide shariah. That will never happen.



Rather it is to fear that in their attempt to achieve worldwide sharia, they will randomly kill total strangers in all parts of the world.

		<description>IVV:



You are missing the point. On the one hand we have people who invent mytholgocial disasters out of whole cloth in an effort to create a state of fear, on the other we have Jihadists flying planes into buildings and declaring war on on people.



My brother said that he thought the conservatives were exaggerating the threat of terrrorism just like they did communism. I said that if more than hundred million dead people was not enough to warrant fear what was?



In truth I think a lot of people have developed a fear of George Bush and Karl Rove that is every bit as bizarre as the fear of witches and alien invasion.

		<description>Jamie Irons:



&quot;I strongly recommend that everyone take a look (if they have not already) at Walid Phares&#039; superb Future Jihad.&quot;



Yes.  We are lucky to have Phares and people like him.  They give us useful information, which is precious in the world that we actually live in, the world that Crichton describes.  His complexity analysis reminded me again of just why it is that so many people don&#039;t understand the danger that we face.  Except for the happy accident that the markets had become largely computerized on 9/11, we&#039;d likely still be recovering from economic chaos rather than having an economic boom.  And except for the bravery of the passengers on the plane that went down in Pennsylvania on 9/11, we&#039;d still be rebuilding the Capitol rather than arguing about some Washington political scandal.  People who believe that the world is linear, that things have root causes, and that they can be understood by manipulating abstractions like racism or poverty or law in some better way, seem to have a limited interest in actual information, and a limited ability to imagine that anything can be different from what they know, or what the MSM tells them the future will be like.  They are, I suppose, the product of an educational system that mocked rote learning because information could always just be looked up.  And so we have the audience and the show in the short attention span theater.  And the audience for what much of science is now too.  Or &quot;cargo cult science,&quot; as Richard Feynman called it in his 1974 graduation address at Caltech.  Thanks to the web, which seems likely to save us all in the end, it&#039;s still available at http://www.physics.brocku.ca/etc/cargo_cult_science.html or by googling Feynman cargo cult.   I&#039;m sure you&#039;ve read it, but anyone who has not should.  Crichton is becoming a national treasure.  As Feynman was.

		<description>ìAnd to David: Thanks for not including Yale among those despicable elite institutions!î



What can I tell you?  Iím just a soft hearted slob. Also, John Kenneth Galbraith never taught at Yale.  I am therefore obligated to cut your school some slack.

		<description>ìHe certainly embarrasses this Stanford alumnus (not that I think that Stanford, or elite universities in general, have a monopoly on professors who spout absolute nonsense).î



Stanford and Harvard are vastly superior to most other educational institutions.  Things usually get worse further down the food chain---and thatís why they must be severely criticized.  John Kenneth Galbraith and Paul Erlich dupe the general public because of their affiliation with these ìeliteî schools.
