I blame you for purchasing his books, watching movies he got royalties from thus giving him money and enabling him to do things that shortened his life span.

I HOPE YOUR HAPPY.

Too soon, Mindset, too soon.



Not that I recognise the name, but still, this is soneone's life we're talking about - it wouldn't hurt you to hold your tongue, if only for a little while.

Here is a link to his site so you can see what books and stuff he has produced. I searched for it so those who are too lazy can look too.

Dinosaurs and nanites, man. Rest ye well, for you proved if anything that people will still read books - if they are damn awesome enough.

Why should I hold my tongue? An idiot is still an idiot, even in death. I'm not talking about the author persona of Crichton, as I've never really read any of his works, I'm talking about his pseudoscientific, conspiracist persona. The guy, no matter his accomplishments, was an idiot.

Because it's more civilized, for a start. Not that that will stop anybody, but it's one of a few reasons.
