Bush administration strikes out against science and the environment once again! Here they are gutting the Clean Water Act and denying the science that water is interlinked! Will it never end?

On the Dune note, its heard to compare the Duke and the God Emperor. Duke Leto was a great man and would not likely have approved of Paul or Leto II empires. I do agree that there is a very environmental twinge to the books. I particularly like them because of the interspersing of science fiction, religion, politics, etc. I particularly appreciate the all the sprinklings of Judaism in the novels. If you are interested perhaps we should continue this conversation in another forum. PM me if you start a thread.

EDIT: I went ahead and made the new thread in Entertainment just for the heck of it.
