mminderbender discovered 3 months ago- How is this not a prerequisite to even running for presidency these days?

- Oh most definitely ... we live in the modern age -- science and technology pervade our culture -- and we need to make sure that our politicians understand at least the basic concepts, and are not dragging behind like generations past ... more importantly, to make sure that Luddites and technophobes do not influence political policy or federal law without fully understanding the ramifications of their decisions ... though personally, I believe that the Net Neutrality debate is at the core of this issue ...

- all the things discussed are not functions of government. The purpose of a gov. is to protect individual rights, not be a nanny state and reverse the industrial revolution with environmentalism laws. Politicians are just supposed to make sure the government does its function-- ban the initiation of physical force.

- A bunch of people want science to improve their life, but these hypocrites disagree with stem cell research. From the page: "A new poll shows that 85% of U.S. adults agree that the presidential candidates should participate in a debate on how science can be used to tackle America's major challenges. The poll found no difference between Democrats and Republicans on this question. A majority (84%) also agree that scientific innovations are improving our standard of living. "

- From the page: "85% of Americans Want a Presidential Debate on Science" I'm in the 85%. Are you? I'm sick of backwards approaches to scientific study, and ignoring science that doesn't jibe with what the politician wants to hear.

- I love this sentence: "A majority of U.S. adults say that past scientific research has contributed "a great deal" or "a lot" to their quality of life today (67%) and that today's research will continue to do so in the future (72%). " Do the other 33% live in a FREAKING CAVE? Do they have running water?

- "This topic has been virtually ignored by the candidates, but this poll shows that Americans of all walks know how important science and technology are to our health and way of life," said Shawn Lawrence Otto, CEO of Science Debate 2008. "We've heard a lot about lapel pins and preachers. But tackling the big science challenges is critical to our children's future - to the future of the country and the future of the planet. Americans want to know that candidates take these issues seriously, and the candidates have a responsibility to let voters know what they think."
