Science is not an independent entity. Who does science for its own
sake these days? Are you a gentlemen scientist? I don't think
so. The underpinnings of science are corporate, economic, and
political, all driven by the profit margin. Of course you might add
hubris to the list of supports.

Science has suffered tragically for the past eight years under an
administration whose central theme seems to have been, "we were told there
would be no math..." Pure research has typically been funded by the federal
government at the university level. That it has not been adequately funded,
is a serious problem that the new administration seems committed to
correcting. (It is soooooo refreshing to have smart people in charge for a
change.) But again the problems are political not scientific. Of course
science is not independent but the problems that you bitch about are not
scientific, they are, as I keep trying to tell you, political, economic and
philosophical. Try to keep up, will you?
Krimel,
Science is not an independent entity!!! And it is not the ideal of
dreamers like you!!!
