Hmm. The illustrious, logical John McCarthy name-calling?
Can we call him a crackpot too for suggesting such remotely possible
things as an earth with 10s of billions of people living in a western
lifestyle, or melting all the ice in antarctica in the name of progress a
crackpot too? If I remember rightly, doing so in the past would merit a
lifetime snub. Do we have to take Mccarthy seriously any more?
