This from a blog discussing the speech at the meeting
http://brenmccnnll.blogspot.com/2006/03/dr.html
Dr. Pianka's talk at the TAS meeting was mostly of the problems humans are causing as we rapidly proliferate around the globe. While what he had to say is way too vast to remember it all, moreover to relay it here in this blog, the bulk of his talk was that he's waiting for the virus that will eventually arise and kill off 90% of human population. In fact, his hope, if you can call it that, is that the ebola virus which attacks humans currently (but only through blood transmission) will mutate with the ebola virus that attacks monkeys airborne to create an airborne ebola virus that attacks humans. He's a radical thinker, that one! I mean, he's basically advocating for the death of all but 10% of the current population!
Worse, the blogger then states
And at the risk of sounding just as radical, I think he's right.
Humans are far too populous. We've used up our resources, and we're destroying the Earth at an accelerated pace. The more technology we create, the more damage we're capable of doing
The blogger, and many of this guys students are now full converts!

Sorry Admin,
Eric R Pianka's phone number is listed at www.411.com
Feel free to look it up and give him call. Tell this clown what society thinks of him.

I knew there were people like Peter Singer in the world, but I did not know that
such views had any sort of widespread currency among so-called "scientists."
I grit my teeth every time I hear (otherwise brilliant) radio host Dennis
Prager say that at least PC insanity hasn't invaded the hard sciences of
academia.
It's already got a foothold and is getting stronger, mostly in the
biological/enviro-type science departments.

That could've been a much better movie.

In this class, we examine questions such as the following:
Why am I here? What is the purpose of my life?
Your HTML tag points to a diatribe against human civilization
masked into a course in Evolution
In this class he is not only teaching science as he sees it
He is advocating a viewpoint on our very existence
and its detrimental effect on the ecosphere
To: Kokojmudd
Mims points out that overpopulation is devastating the planet. This is quite definitely true in many Third World nations. What he fails to mention is that the economic development brought by capitalism is the only known cure for the plight of overpopulation. To look for countries that truly devastate the environment of the earth, one need look no further than the many underdeveloped dictatorships and Communist regimes of the present world.

Don't know how you all will feel about this one - could spark some interesting conversation (your discretion). Might be good to show we're not afraid to expose a nut on the opposite side of the fence.

If Hitler had been a university professor, he could have made this speech about the Jews. And he would, no doubt, have had the standing ovation from his peers, just as this scientific fascist did. Just think what the world will be like when his students take over academia and government. I hope they start by eliminating Pianka first, because he is the most "useless eater" of all. It certainly galls this Texas taxpayer to know that we are paying his salary and that of the other loud Marxist, Jensen, at UT-Austin.

Attention Homeland Security: Get these people under surveillance - NOW!
It was a loud, vigorous and enthusiastic applause.

Let's hope that this filovirus has helped:

A little insight to his heart?
He named one of his animals "Lucifer"?

What is it about cows and devil worship?
Isn't it so unoriginal?

I noticed the "Lucifer" and the "heaven/hell" in his email addy. Don't know enough Satanists to be sure, but I wouldn't bet he ain't!
To: Kokojmudd
Ebola is not a good candidate either, it kills too quickly, immobilizing the victim in its wake.
Viruses that kill too quickly evolve to work more slowly in order to spread itself more.
It is not in a germ's best interest to kill its host.
