Thanks for warning us about ignoring people who are trying to warn us...I hope you aren't ridiculed for it! I would add Gen. Billy Mitchell, who foresaw the coming of air power, aircraft carriers, and the Pearl Harbor attack...and was of course ridiculed (court martialed actually). Fortunately, enough people listened to have won WW II. Brings to mind the Jacques de la Bruyere quote "The exact contrary of what is generally believed is often the truth".
