A team of science fiction writers has been formed by the US Homeland Security Department to generate ideas to stop terrorists. The team, codenamed Sigma, includes authors such as Arlan Andrews, Greg Bear, Jerry Pournelle and Sage Walker. The team has to come up with ideas for technology which might be helpful and also work out scenarios for potential terrorist attacks.
The group all have to have technical doctorate degrees and are " well-qualified nuts" according to Pournelle.
Team member and Ringworld author Larry Niven said that writers were always saving civilisation in fiction and they would want to do it in fact too.

I wouldn't bet money that everyone knows of him... when you hear people say the phonetic alphabet as follows, I would think some people have been raised in the woods by wolves:
Q as in cucumber
K as in Canada
I rest my case.

Just once in LotR I wanted Elrond to look at Frodo and say 'Mr. Bagginses'. I guess breaking character for a cheap laugh is bad.

Fuck L. Ron Hubbard and fuck all his clones
Fuck all these gun-toting hip gangster wanna-bes
Fuck retro anything, fuck your tattoos
Fuck all you junkies and fuck your short memory
Fuck smiley glad-hands with hidden agendas
Fuck these dysfunctional, insecure actresses

Tool knew about L. Ron's evilness, and did all they could to protect the world from him and scientology.... But, unfortunately, they are just one band.

that's pretty rude.
the 2 times I went to see tool, I was shocked at how short maynard really is. They build him his own little stage on top of the stage so you can't tell,but if you see him walking next to an average person,he's incredibly small.

Jonathan Davis gets pissed if people don't throw shoes at him when his band performs A.D.I.D.A.S.

Since you don't understand, I'll go down a level... basically you were saying that everyone knows about Scientology. I was telling you that you're giving people too much credit. A lot of people don't even know how to spell, so how can you assume they know anything about Scientology??? If someone truly thinks cucumber is spelled with a Q, do you think they can dress themselves in the morning, let alone know anything about cults??? (does that make sense now?)

Yeah, I agree. Stupid people may not know how to spell, but they know who the fuck Tom Cruise is and they know about Scientology because all they do is watch E! and read Star magazine.

Just because people know that Tom Cruise or John Travolta are in a cult called Scientology, doesn't mean they know L Ron Hubbard... and even if they do know of him, I bet most people have no clue he was a sci-fi writer! I stand by my position on this.

Yes, I finally found religion during my travels in the American penal system.

You found a sci-fi cult while you were imprisoned for soliciting a prostitute? Well ok, weird, but ok.

How do you think Tom Cruise, John Travolta, and Jason Lee got to be members?
