From
slashdot on a topic I've been complaining about for several years now:
"There's a good article over on the BBC about the decline of science and technology in the U.S..
Vint Cerf and others are going on record to voice their concerns about
the current administrations recipe for 'irrelevance and decline.'
Scientists are increasingly concerned about the White House's pandering
to the religious right at science's expense. From the article:
'radically we have moved away from regulation based on professional
analysis of scientific data ...to regulation controlled by the White
House and driven by political considerations.'"
