NewAgers: The Evil Clowns Of The Cosmos

"I don't know how many e-mails I have received from children who are terrified that 2012 will somehow involve the end of life as we know it, all because of an unfounded fringe religious prophecy that has received mass-market exposure with the release of a recent Hollywood movie. I have tried to reassure those children (and not a few adults) that this date represents nothing more cosmically special than the year of the next presidential election."

-- Lawrence M. Krauss, pointing out how bogus NewAge prophecies are terrifying the children of the Western World - while NewAgers are actively abusing and killing them - in a totally unrelated article for Scientific American.
