Sciencedebate 2008

I haven't checked out the entire website yet, but this seems like a good idea. While there are certainly other important issues, why not encourage a presidential debate on science and technology? Several thousand scientifically minded individuals and organizations have already signed, including the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), Sigma Xi, Roald Hoffmann (Nobel Laureate), Robert Grubbs (Nobel Laureate), Richard Schrock (Nobel Laureate), Peter Agre (Nobel Laureate), Phillip Campbell (editor of Nature), and Rudy Baum (editor of Chemical and Engineering News).

In theory this sounds like a good idea, but think of how painful watching something like this might be. Maybe I'm wrong, but the results of such a debate may end up being very depressing.

I disagree that it would be depressing. I think that it is unlikely to cause a major shift in administration policy, but it will bring science out as something that everyone can talk about, even the future president of the United States who has no science background. Science policy debate is just not for the formally trained but for everyone to discuss as much as war as a foreign policy. I am all for making science a less closely guarded, esoteric subject. Besides, my boyfriend would be happy that I were caring about politics.

Some thing behind a myth was infinite.

To be a noble human being is to procure a amiable of openness to the mankind, an cleverness to trust unsure things beyond your own manage, that can lead you to be shattered in very extreme circumstances pro which you were not to blame. That says something remarkably outstanding relating to the get of the principled autobiography: that it is based on a trustworthiness in the up in the air and on a willingness to be exposed; it's based on being more like a shop than like a treasure, something somewhat feeble, but whose extremely particular beauty is inseparable from that fragility.
