''The absurd (or not) allegations about a secret "heart attack machine",
and the death of a fringe scientist in Carolina, are the latest
craziness to emerge from purveyors of disinformation in alternative
energy. It is no wonder that many mainstream scientists are convinced
that the whole field of alternative-energy is populated by cranks.

Howdy Jones,
The problem I have with many of these allegations is the.lack of imagination
in the story line.
In Texas, where no man's life nor property is safe when the legislature is
in session, at least we can tell the difference between a lie and the
truth told nine different ways. Done with class and style, a good lie
captures the imagination.
For example, back during the Sharpstown Bank scandal there was a classic
scenario with the some real characters for players from the Guv all the way
down.
In one case of accidental death by gunshot. One of the major players was
bird hunting in Idaho.Leaning his lever action rifle against the post while
slipping through the fence, he was killed when the gun accidently discharged
shooting him in the back three times. The death was ruled accidental. After
all, how else could you explain a lever action rifle reloading and firing
three times any other way but by sheer accident.
Nobody seemed to question the three bullets story ,but everyone was
skeptical on why he would be using a deer rifle to hunt birds. This
resulted in a never ending speculation which is where all classic tales wind
up.
