Immanuel Velikovsky was always a fave of mine. My mom handed me one of his books when I was in Jr. High. It was on.Yeah, he gets more impressive as time goes on and more of his "crackpot" theories get proven right. Brilliant!
I had an engineer buddy of mine work on that time machine idea, but he couldn't power it. He muttered something about needing about 10 suns to power it and threw it in his recycle bin. Oh, well... :)

"Emerging from a particularly credulous Southern California culture, Nancy and Ronald Reagan relied on an astrologer in private and public matters -- unknown to the voting public. Some portion of the decision-making that influences the future of our civilization is plainly in the hands of charlatans." -- Carl Sagan
Sagan also blasted that Reagan made Carter look like Cardinal Richelieu, opposed SDI, and nearly singlehandedly gave birth to the global warming movement.

Reagan (first) got elected when I was 10! I remember getting mad at my mom for voting for Anderson. I know Carl was a whacky lib, but most academics are.
Oh, by the way, Reagan and Thatcher actually did kinda give birth to the global warming thing. They were trying to get the libs to get on board with nuke power. Maggie was VERY vocal about it.

Nope, no connection there. Groups in the US like the Abalone Alliance and Greenpeace were on a rampage during the 1970s and 1980s against nuclear fission, and similar groups were doing the same thing in Europe. Thatcher and Reagan's defense was not only needed, but it worked. Germany just gave up on it, France's fast breeder program was brought into disrepute. Sci-fi author Ray Bradbury was vocal in his defense of nuclear energy (so was Sagan).
Reagan's famed lampoon of the global warming hoax is, well, famed:
"I have flown twice over Mount St. Helens. I'm not a scientist and I don't know the figures, but I have a suspicion that one little mountain out there, in these last several months, has probably released more sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere than has been released in the last ten years of automobile driving or things of that kind." -- quoted in Time magazine, October 20, 1980.

Didn’t know all that. However, Thatcher was FOR SURE pushing the AGW thing just to get the greenies to shut up. From what I have read, she was the mother of it (well, the gov’t role in it, anyway). I just figured that since her and Ronny were so tight, that he was helping her with it somehow... I am seriously glad you showed me I was wrong about that!!!
