Brilliant historical review. Could you please explain, with appropriate political correctness, what we are supposed to do with official pronouncements by the “leadership” of Iran that “the holocaust did not exist” etc., etc.? It would be nice if an ostensibly brilliant mind like yours could propose solutions instead of just Monday morning quarterback pot shots, which are quite easy to fling.

Don't get me wrong. Your pot shots are of exceptionally high quality, and on occasion, educational value, but they can't produce value for the human race, and indeed the planet, if they are not wedded to realistic ideas about how to get us out of this mess.

P.S. Could you please dump your brilliant argument against the case for global warming? It's a wrong turn. Ask any polar bear or climatologist who is paying attention. Who knows what"s causing it, but we all know what we can do to mitigate it. No, I'm not talking about new advances in technology. I'm talking about stopping the growth of the human population. Could you please wake up, Señor radical?
