[QUOTE]Originally posted by glassman: [QB] oildog: another point about Crichton, as i sadi? i read (almost) all of his books, (i skipped his biographical one) BUT? he's a very very "commercial" writer. he always has been. is that bad? no, but i think it does say something about his integrity. i think he is for sale, and i disagree with many of his premises. the fact that he popularizes Science (caps intended) is a good thing. However? His basic formula for examining the ethics and the human morality of the problems is not even up to Tolkeins level. I put him on a level with Edgar Rice Burroughs. Was Tarzan an animal with a knife? It's funny how he portrayed the "promoter" in Jurassic Park as brilliant capitalist and morally bankrupt. ( inside joke? the T Rex and the Raptors (very late)are from the Cretaceous, not the Jurassic, i often wonder why Crichton does these misidentifications. it's almost as if he is laughing at the readers IMO) Then he turns around critisizes the whole scientific community in State of Fear. Sadly? The scientific community is reduced to begging in the current granting system we have. Just trying to finding funding can mean having all of your ideas stolen by thieves thru the peer review process. Good scientists with fresh concepts are forced to hide them behind smoke and mirrors. Otherwise, they are stolen along with the funding. [/QB][/QUOTE]
