Bad information can kill
Michael Crichton has an excellent article on his site about fear and misinformation and how they do more damage than the things they are warning us about. Complete with lots of colorful graphs and photos. I found the part about what really happend to the wildlife at Yellowstone National Park particularly edifying...
"At any moment there are 1,500 electrical storms on the planet. A tornado touches down every six hours. We have ninety hurricanes a year, or one every four days. Again, right on schedule. Violent, disruptive, chaotic activity is a constant feature of our globe.
Is this the end of the world? No: this is the world.
