Message>>I am sure you did not know that Steven Spielberg and Michael Crichton are high priests of my religion so I will let you slide.
"Your religion" being what exactly? :)
I've enjoyed various movies and stories from Spielberg/Crichton--all fiction though.
However, at least the attempt at "non"fiction by Crichton above, I was unimpressed.
>>Steven Spielberg will be handing down new lessons to us all in the new Indiana Jones.
I'm sure it will be entertaining, and I will of course see it.
>>I still having a hard time forgiving you about the whole Dr Spock comment.
>>My goodness man its Dr Spock.
I of course meant "Mr. Spock" from Star Trek, and not "Dr. Spock" the
baby doctor. As for "Mr. Spock", he's one of my favorite characters from
Star Trek. However, as for real life, there are limits to "just logic".
It is important to have the heart in play also.
>>I am not sure your argument was any better.
Well, not sure I really was presenting any argument, other than
pointing out the logical holes in his article. If a person
makes a claim contrary to popular opinion, they should have
evidence to back it up. Moreover, successfully arguing several
facts that are ultimately irrelevant to what you are trying
to demonstrate (i.e. straw man argument) does not impress me. It's
easy to discount something (i.e. environmentalism), when you
don't actually address what it really is, and you just attack
other things that are not the real representation.
