Jurassic park - hell yeah, clone those dinosaurs Mr. Hammond! This is one of the most amazing achievements in human history. What about 'chaos theory'? What about nature? What the fuck are you talking about people? Don't you see what's going on here?

The mistake Hammond made in Jurassic Park wasn't cloning dinosaurs, it was mismanaging the park due to greed.

I still maintain that Jurassic Park is a lesson on why you need to treat your IT people nicely. Hammond is even worse to Nedry in the book.

He should have first recreated the carboniferous era so that the O2 levels in the atmosphere were as high as they used to be. What happened to sparing no expense?
