On top of everything else which John Hammond does wrong in Jurassic Park, it occurs to me that his indignation about how "everyone in the world has the right to enjoy these animals" made no ethical or moral sense. Why does "everyone" inherently have the "right" to "enjoy" them?
AFAICT, Jurassic Park was a privately-funded venture, presumably including the genetic research which developed the dinos, etc etc. Unless there's a government grant involved, there's no legal or even moral reason why it *had* to be open to the public.
It's nice that he *chose* to price it for the mass market, but he acts like it would be blasphemy to do anything else. And if you're *gonna* price it for the general public, you'd think he would "spare no expense" on the SECURITY SYSTEM which is ENTIRELY RELIANT on *one dude*.
I mean even if Dennis Nedry hadn't decided to commit corporate espionage, he wasn't exactly in the best shape. What if he'd had a heart attack or something? Is there any actual theme park computer system which relies on one specific individual to operate it properly?
Also, if you're gonna build a dinosaur theme park with a cut-rate security system for the general public, it might not be such a great idea to stock it with poison-spitting predators and locate it on an island prone to hurricanes.
Also, Isla Nublar is supposed to be 30 sq. miles, or 30% smaller than Disney World...except that's the ENTIRE ISLAND. I assume most of that would be needed for the dinos to live in. Where exactly are the thousands of visitors supposed to find space?
