HELP WANTED! FASHIONABLE OPINION NEEDS AUTHOR FOR ITS NEXT WORLD CRISIS BOOK! | 2003-12-13

The next crisis book will say that liberals have to rule the world to save it from global warming or global freezing or whatever. The new version of "Soylent Green" will dramatize how the world will be destroyed because we have not ratified some version of the Kyoto Treaty.

The Kyoto Treaty would stop all development in white countries and let the third world go for broke. Any version of the Kyoto Treaty, no matter how you watered it down, would go a long way towards turning world economic policy over to the bureaucrats and halting Western growth.

And turning the world over to bureaucrats is what Fashionable Opinion is all about.

The media have hit Bush hard for not negotiating some version of the Kyoto Treaty, so Bush has already begun to cave in. Not one single member of the United States Senate would dare support the present Kyoto Treaty, so all that Fashionable Opinion asks is that we start taking it seriously again.

So Bush is starting to go back to negotiating the Kyoto Treaty. But what is really needed is a book that will get the yuppies howling for Kyoto and scaring Bush all the way to the conference table.

Bush is on the run, but we still don't have the book we need, the new "Soylent Green," the new "Population Bomb."

Hundreds of science fiction writers are out there waiting waiting for somebody to put that book out so they can put out little versions of it.

Everybody is waiting for the next Inevitable Future, and the rewards being offered for it are stupendous.

Every movie about the Holocaust gets dozens of awards. The professor at Emory who got fired because his pro-gun control book was such a tissue of obvious lies got lots of awards for it. Whoever writes the new "professors must rule the world" and "The white race is the cancer of history" book has fame and money and awards and professorships lined up waiting for him.

Where is that book?
