Re: Union of Concerned Scientists

[garyi@trinityphysics.com]

I'm sure everyone has reflected on the fact that the general term scientist has no well 

defined qualifying criteria.  That's probably why UCS isn't the Union of Concerned 

CHPs.



But since I see now how the word scientist (and others) can be played with, I think I will 

start introducing myself as a scientist.  In literary circles, I will be an editor (I edit things).  

I'm also a counsellor, a consultant, an engineer, an inventor, a programmer, a writer, a 

financial adviser, and a political commentator (I comment on politics ALL the time).



Since I'm such a stellar intellect and multifaceted talent, I will call the media and 

schedule a news conference.  Lets see, what will I say?



A) No alarming dangers to report.  Just thought you should know.



***OR***



B) Holy Cow!  We're all gonna die!!  Unless you listen to me and contribute generously 

to my watch-dog agency.  Make your checks payable to Gary Isenhower, please.
