larry niven as: the worst government consultant
ever to live

Among
the group's approximately 24 members is Larry Niven, the
bestselling and award-winning author of such books as "Ringworld"
and "Lucifer's Hammer," which he co-wrote with SIGMA member Jerry
Pournelle.
Niven said a good way to help hospitals stem financial losses is to
spread rumors in Spanish within the Latino community that emergency
rooms are killing patients in order to harvest their organs for
transplants.
"The problem [of hospitals going broke] is hugely exaggerated by
illegal aliens who aren't going to pay for anything anyway," Niven
said.
"Do you know how politically incorrect you are?" Pournelle asked.
.
"I know it may not be possible to use this solution, but it does
work," Niven replied.
I can't wait to see Niven's other revolutionary ideas, such as
prohibiting Internet Smut, ending the Raghead Menace Once And For
All with nuclear weapons, banning that gosh darn hippie music, and
telling those damn kids to get offa his lawn.
