Regardless, there are still many working to give science its due, and to continue properly educating the public and the next generation in scientific details. I have hope.

George Bush condemned Christopher Reeve to a short life of agony by stopping stem cell research in America... Scientists recently repaired damaged spines of paralyzed mice and they can now walk... Chris could be alive and walking right now if this type of study wasn't hindered by G.W.B... Don't be afraid to speak out and explain that Jesus is a myth and religion is a mental illness... Knock off the pandering to the "Bible Belt" and leave science alone... The fairytale religious beliefs of these politicians get in the way of true medical/ scientific progress…

Don’t be afraid to speak out and explain that Jesus is a myth and religion is a mental illness…

Knock off the pandering to the “Bible Belt” and leave science alone…

It's truly frightening how little consideration government gives to science. I just joined, hopefully it will have some impact.

It concerns me a great deal that politicians in your country and mine (Australia) who show such a complete disrespect for science and the scientific method are making decisions about our futures on a daily basis. I question the ability of anyone who doesn't give science their full respect to make rational decisions. Kiki,here here.
