I didn't think my opinion of Michael Crichton could get any lower than the Mariannis Trench of disregard I already felt for him, but lo, it has plunged even further:

I don't think I hold him in such contempt as you,

I made the mistake of reading some autobiographical work some years back. Ego run amok. And his anti-intellectual tirades are self-serving and destructive. But he does have the right to his opinion, as do I and this guy he lambasted.

The way to really get under his skin would be to suggest that as an arrogant, egotistical, elitist graduate of Harvard, he has a lot in common with the intellectuals he hates.

lol--that's true, but I doubt he'd admit it. He sees The Truth, after all, and all those other guys don't.
