Good references, particularly the second, "My favorite author, my
worst interview ... I worshipped militaristic Mormon science-fiction
writer Orson Scott Card -- until we met." by Donna Minkowitz.   (But
she lies; she never "met" Card.  She interviewed him over the phone.)

Here's a nice quote from Card: "Well, since I have no respect
whatsoever for Jung or any of his works, that's hardly a surprise. The
beginnings of the science of psychology are filled with false prophets
like Jung and Freud, people who really set back the science of
psychology and had a huge and sickening influence in our culture. They
are among the great frauds and evils of our time."

Y'know, I'd half-way go along with him on Freud, but his condemnation
of Jung is so ignorant and malicious that it describes Card perfectly.
