"Camille Paglia's comments about the environment will surely be called blasphemous by the left. I subscribe to what Michael Crichton wrote and spoke about several years ago, that the left has taken to environmentalism as they would to religion. You can read his view at his website (www.michaelcrichton.net). The zealots of this new faith are just like any other religion's true believers, if you dare to not believe what they do than you are an infidel. And we know how zealots act when confronted with contradictory evidence, they attack the messenger."
I'm always surprised that people take Chrichton seriously as scientific authority. Yes, a former medical doctor is sticking to hundreds of more qualified, real scientists doing real research in their specialized fields. He's such a rebel.
Not only that, people like dfm1981 all share some kind of group delusion that they're the real independent thinkers, when all they're doing is parroting Rush, Crichton, Paglia, the entire auto industry, the Bush administration, etc., in exactly the same manner that they accuse the "Left" of doing.
And for (hopefully) the last time: Science is not religion. Please.
Who's REALLY following a cult of personality here?
