"Well, one thing for sure, this book will never be made into a movie. It doesn't comply with the 'agenda.'"

Heard that. They totally buggered up Clancy's "The Sum of All Fears", and Clancy had it right way back then, too!

Crichton has no idea the hornet's nest he has stepped on, though. Very reminiscent of John Lott and his first political book.

His observation of the ecos' preocupation with Malthusian thought is by far the most cutting. To my mind, it is even sharper than the 1970s barb.

I saw his interview on 20/20.

He was good and stated that those in Hollywood really don't have a clue about the environment and pointed out that many are hypocrites while being "activists" for the environment they charter private jets to travel. It was also brought out that in a previous interview, he called them: DUMB.
