Incompetency Fed On Itself.

I'm Frustrated With Hollywood And Television And The Movies Because They See Science Fiction As An Excuse For Eye Candy, For Lots Of Great Special Effects.

Who Are We? And To Me That's The Essential Question That's Always Been In Science Fiction. A Lot Of Science Fiction Stories Are - At Their Very Best - Evocations Of That Question. When We Look Up At The Night Sky And Wonder, "is There Anyone Else Out There?" We're Also Asking Who We Are We In Relation To Them.

In The 20th Century, We Had A Century Where At The Beginning Of The Century, Most Of The World Was Agricultural And Industry Was Very Primitive. At The End Of That Century, We Had Men In Orbit, We Had Been To The Moon, We Had People With Cell Phones And Colour Televisions And The Internet And Amazing Medical Technology Of All Kinds.

Only People Who Haven't Lived Through A War Advocate It So Eagerly.

Life Has A Peculiar Habit -- Once Established, It Stays. Sometimes It Even Thrives.
