We prefer to take our cues from Campus Republicans and their habits regarding enlistment.

Certainly not. The subsidiary organizations of the Illuminated Order of Climatologists take pride in their discipline.
> Were Timothy McVeigh or Ted Kaczynki part of a breakaway group, perhaps?
Not at all. McVeigh completed his mission with flying colors and per orders, was spirited out of his cell, replaced with an android, and is now doing a postdoc in biostratigraphy at Oregon State. Kaczynski, for his part, couldn't really keep it together as an effective operative, but his analysis of technology is close to our hearts.

Actually, Dr. Jones was doing pioneering field work in "soft path" mind control (Amory Lovins suggested this phrase to him. Ken Kesey suggested the Kool-Aid).
That Hale Bopp thing was just weird. We think it was the Orbital Mechanics Syndicate yanking our chain.

You're whistling past the graveyard on that, old boy!
