I don't give a rats xxx what he's written. Seeing him on TV a couple
years ago protesting the launch of the Cassini probe, repeatedly and on
several shows for several weeks, when of all people he should be
intelligent and educated enough to know what the real risks and dangers
were, indicates to me that he is a poser who is willing to sell science
out in order to try to attain a Sagan-like level of popular fame by
playing on the ignorance of the morom masses.
