Meet Dr. Doom
http://www.sas.org/tcs/weeklyIssues_2006/2006-04-07/feature1p/index.html
But there was a gravely disturbing side to that otherwise scientifically significant meeting, for I watched in amazement as a few hundred members of the Texas Academy of Science rose to their feet and gave a standing ovation to a speech that enthusiastically advocated the elimination of 90 percent of Earth's population by airborne Ebola. The speech was given by Dr. Eric R. Pianka the University of Texas evolutionary ecologist and lizard expert who the Academy named the 2006 Distinguished Texas Scientist.
Professor Pianka said the Earth as we know it will not survive without drastic measures. Then, and without presenting any data to justify this number, he asserted that the only feasible solution to saving the Earth is to reduce the population to 10 percent of the present number.
Now do you see why conspiracy theories are a good thing? Could the AIDS, SARS and the present H5N1 (bird flu) virus be started by these maniacs? Why not?
Heck, or even the famine in Somalia or Niger? If they can bring rain (cloud seeding), they can bloody hell stop it! After all, they do want to reduce the population, don't they? Any why don't I see anybody yelling: "Terrorist!" at Dr. Pianka? He's proposing killing 5 billion people and no one is calling him 'terrorist'?
What the F*!?
