Since I saw a thread about eliminating science education from a school up north, I thought Id post why science matters.
I saw this story last night and was so proud and also fascinated by their knowledge about these topics. Very smart and very talented. We need them!

When I went to school in North Texas, it was about purely science and we were proud of it.

It has its benefits for the rich and powerful.
It really boggles the mind what has been occurring the last few years. Hate and Fear is all they have, and the power to keep the electorate stupid. Too stupid to know they are being used.
Ah well, at least Texas hasnt totally done away with science yet.

I still have a hard time understanding or comprehending this slide backwards into the abyss of learning.
It appears some people prefer the darkness!

Unfortunately, those people are always outsmarted by the people who arent afraid to use their minds for the good of all.
