From what I’ve read about him, Michael Crichton is a pretty liberal guy. It’s refreshing to know that on some things, he seems to think for himself. That must really make him unpopular with the Hollywood crowd.

He is liberal, but his eyes were really opened he said when he wrote "State of Fear"

He started out writing a book about global warming, but the more he researched it the more he found out what a crock of *&^% it was, and he decided to write about the people who wanted to further their own agenda. Good book if you want your eyes opened.

I doubt we’re going to see “State of Fear” made into a movie any time soon.

Nothing liberal about this book...

His portrayal of union workers as dangerous thugs pretty much guaranties it will never be made into a major motion picture.

Most of the Hollywood crowd can't spell "Harvard Medical School", much less graduate from it.

Read Crichton's two latest novels, State of Fear, and Next. He may have been a lib at one time, but the underlying themes in these novels is very conservative. There's even a Martin Sheen-like character who gets eaten by cannibals.

Whatever liberal leanings Crichton may have had when he started out writing, his last several novels (basically everything since Jurassic Park) have been very conservative. I think “State of Fear” should be required reading for everyone who has to suffer through “An Inconvenient Truth”, LOL!

xcamel; thanks so much for this important ping!
