Meeting Doctor Doom31 March 2006
Recently citizen scientist Forrest Mims told me about a speech he heard at the Texas Academy of Science during which the speaker, a world-renowned ecologist, advocated for the extermination of 90 percent of the human species in a most horrible and painful manner. Apparently at the speaker's direction, the speech was not video taped by the Academy and so Forrest's may be the only record of what was said. Forrest's account of what he witnessed chilled my soul. Astonishingly, Forrest reports that many of the Academy members present gave the speaker a standing ovation. To date, the Academy has not moved to sanction the speaker or distance itself from the speaker's remarks.
If the professional community has lost its sense of moral outrage when one if their own openly calls for the slow and painful extermination of over 5 billion human beings, then it falls upon the amateur community to be the conscience of science.
Forrest, who is a member of the Texas Academy and chairs its Environmental Science Section, told me he would be unable to describe the speech in The Citizen Scientist because he has protested the speech to the Academy and he serves as Editor of The Citizen Scientist. Therefore, to preclude a possible conflict of interest, I have directed Forrest to describe what he observed and his reactions in this special feature, for which I have served as editor and which is being released a week ahead of our normal publication schedule. Comments may be sent to Backscatter.

I would be slow to jump on a bandwagon about this . .
Can anyone say . . .
12 MONKEYS ?
.
Put him and his family on the spin of being part of the 90 percent that dies.
And who is going to be the judge and jury that decideds who lives and dies? then good luck on trying to carry this stupidity out.
that dude is a fucking wack job, exterminating 90% of the earths population is nuts.
Pimpin is easy

I wonder why all the "intellectual elite" never volunteer to be amongst the first? Set the example, sacrifice yourself first. But no, the world needs them to carry out and plan this because no one else has the "intelligence" to plan out MASS GENOCIDE.

If you kill 5 billion people you shouldn't try to make it painful or you might go to hell.
I don't need no stinking signature
Why is it that so many of the modern day loons come from texas... http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse....h_riding10.jpg
I also have a feeling someone forgot to tell him that theres a ebola vaccine that would probably work in humans thats currently in the testing stages. Even further if he plans on dooing this it will have to be in the near future as nanotechnology that could cure most diseases is looking to be viable in the next 20-30 years.
Anyone upset or offended by my post please follow the link and let your opinions be known.

This has been brewing in the blog-o-sphere for a few days now.
Forrest Mims is Christian fundamentalist of the creationist creed who displays a singular lack of ability to understand science of any kind.
Eric Pianka may have been unwise in his choice of words for this talk, but he is NOT advacating mass genocide. It's all in the minds of nutcases like Mims.
see, for instance:

"The way to achieve inner peace is to finish
all the things you have started".
So today I have finished a case of red wine, a litre of gin,
a bottle of Jack Daniels, all my Prozac and a large box of
chocolates.
I feel better already!
I'm all for the extermination of 5 billion people,but why make it painful?
does that mean we can start with you?
hey im a chink!
Hate that word.
Is that some form of seeking empowerment or a clever way to avoid getting spanked for using it?
wtf? and hopefully a lot less tards from Texas too. :icon_king
