"FDR" wrote in message ... The weakened educational system can be traced to the Socialist/Progressive professors and teachers that infest the schools from mid-level to Universities. You must have conservative rabies. No, I am anti-Progressive/Leftist/Socialist. All of which simply means anti-Communist! If you can't understand what the connections are then U.S. voters have a serious problem. Jackson Lee has a 100 percent pro-education voting record, according to the teachers' union -- the National Education Association (NEA). She earned this honor in part by voting in 1998 to deny vouchers to the 70 percent of African-American parents in Washington, D.C. who want to liberate their children from inferior, unionized public schools. http://www.discoverthenetwork.com/in....asp?indid=981 |

"FDR" wrote in message ... "David" wrote in message ... The Republican War on Science by Chris Mooney America has long prided itself on its dynamic industrial and scientific innovation. We boasted of our investment in research to produce new technology, products and medical breakthroughs, because we were a country always moving forward. Born of a revolution that rejected the stultifying constraints of Monarchist governments, we were unleashed to invent a future without constraints. So historians, in a few years, may look back on the era of right wing Republican rule and wonder how we became saddled with a government that is intent on moving the nation backwards instead of forwards. It's as if you were a passenger in a car speeding down the expressway at 60 miles per hour and suddenly the driver threw the gear into reverse. The technological pride this country had is dwindling. Not only from this administration, but from companies moving it out to foreign countries, and a weakened higher education system because we value popstars, celebrities and athletes much more than engineers and scientists. We never have valued engineers and scientists much. Why is that such a surprise?? By the time Einstein made it to the US, he was more celebrity than scientist at that point. Hawking is probably more well known for being "the guy in the wheelchair who was on Star Trek playing poker" than his theories. Carl Sagan was a scientist who was more well known for his showmanship and his apocryphal "Billions and billons" quote than as a scientist. I once heard from a coworker who went to Cornell that there used to be a t-shirt making the rounds at Cornell that had the top lies told at Cornell. One of them was (not an exact quote, but close), "I take a class taught by Carl Sagan." One of the major sources of funding for research was the DoD and DoE during the Cold War. When that ended, a lot of money available for funding dried up and went toward other things. Priorities changed, too: look at the decision to scrap the Superconducting Supercollider (SSC), or the constant shifting of priorities away from a Mars mission. The SSC was deemed too costly, and the Mars mission meets heated debate over what our national priorities should be. The Cold Fusion debacle 15 years ago also demonstrated the fractured nature across scientific disciplines: chemists and physicists were arguing rather loudly about the results of Pons' and Fleishmann's experiments not in a reasoned manner, but more in the manner of "we found it first, so nyaah nyaah nyaah" reserved for children. There is also a distinct disconnect between what the public and the people with the purse strings feel is important, and what the academic scientific community feels is important. Try and suggest that the space program should be significantly scaled back so that hunger in Africa could be given priority, and you'll get an earful from the scientific community on that. --Mike L. |
