Thank you. My only beef has always been one of priorities. America has always had a problem with priorities and values, we need to work in those directions. When we get our shit more or less together, perhaps then we can retool our focus on cool shit like Mars, but in the meantime, there is a lot of work to do. And yes, I bet analytical types like scientists would be WAY better than these sleazebag lawyers and business tycoons who masquerade themselves as politicians these days..
By the way its not my "religion" which somehow makes me "anti-science" because that is not the case, I am not against cool science, however my "religion" does push me towards humanistic values and priorities.
