Presidential Science Debate

[NYgurkha]

This presidential election cycle, we have been jostled around by the media and fed worthless crap. Its time that we take a look at some of the more informative and substantial debates that are happening right now. Here are the stances of the two presidential nominees on 14 questions regarding education and science in America: Link

In November, 2007, a small group of six citizens - two screenwriters, a physicist, a marine biologist, a philosopher and a science journalist - began working to restore science and innovation to America’s political dialogue. They called themselves Science Debate 2008, and they called for a presidential debate on science. The call tapped a wellspring of concern over the state of American science.



Within weeks, more than 38,000 scientists, engineers, and other concerned Americans signed on, including nearly every major American science organization, dozens of Nobel laureates, elected officials and business leaders, and the presidents of over 100 major American universities. See who here. Among other things, these signers submitted over 3,400 questions they want the candidates for President to answer about science and the future of America.

I want to see what peoples responses are to this.

/its a lengthy read, but its worth it.
