I think my biggest problem was his attitude about it. He was pretty much "So what?' about it until a little before he died. if he had just been an author, i wouldnt have cared (i dont blame speilberg for the movie), but as a scientist, there is a certain obligation there. it would be like a doctor making a completely untrue story about a disease people commonly fear and then shrugging when i causes a panic...



It's kind of liek what Happened to Steve Irwin. Whithin a week, some dumbasses were out killing stingrays out of "revenge" :rolleyes:

Human nature is hardly that unpredictable.
