STARK RAVING MAD

Amory Lovins and L. Hunter Lovins in the Santa Rosa, Califor-nia Press Democrat for December 25, 1994, pp G1 & G6 propose a new generation of plastic automobiles weighing about one-fourth of current models and powered by electric motors using electricity generated in the car from compressed natural gas or hydrogen. They predict these and other innovations will increase fuel economy to 600 miles per gallon. Who will be the first to put his family in this little beauty?

Out of Control by Brenda Scott, available from Huntington House Publishers, P. O. Box 53788, Lafayette Louisiana 70505, describes the current American "child protective services'' industry which has itself become the greatest source of actual child and parental abuse in our country. This is not just about the billions of dollars of tax money that is paid for the abduction of hundreds of thousands of children from their homes each year. Pages 85-100 describe the routine, official use of Farrall Instruments "plethysmographs'' on parents of both sexes throughout the United States. A significant contribution to American society could be made by criminal prosecution of every child services bureaucrat involved with this use.

A widely reported NASA press conference on December 19, 1994, continues the now well-established standard of enviroscience by press announcement without release of actual data and without publication in the scientific literature. These publicists claim to have detected hydrogen fluoride in the stratosphere and to have proved thereby that man-made compounds are destroying the ozone layer. Evaluation is impossible, of course, because they have published no paper that describes this work. By the time they do publish, if ever, their press claims will be firmly established in the minds of laymen and tax-dispersing politicians whether or not those claims are true.
