The editing of the word "subject" emphasizes the founders care to make sure that the US government be of the people, that we should not be subject to any tyranny but rather citizens with representation. Good time of year for the reminder.

You miss the point. If it were in the scientist's best interests for storm chasers to stay out of their way (the article at hand)... they would do well not to have any of their meetings on national television, and not have the scientific community participating in television shows that glamorize storm chasing. Vortex2 or any other scientific endeavour shouldn't expect to hype their craft on any media outlet, be it Discovery or the weather channel, and then get all hot and disturbed when the field gets a little more crowded....

Whatever... the "Storm Chasers" show had several episodes where they showed the IMAX movie guys pitted against the Vortex 2 folks... even filmed their meetings... every time the big rig with the radar was shown, they got "Vortex 2" into the conversation as much as possible...

If the scientists didn't talk down on everyone else... The Vortex2 project was the one that was in "Storm Chasers" building up all the hype... well what did they expect?! I'm sure they have a passion for what they are doing, but they're kind of coming off looking like pricks.... just say'in.

"Everyone believes in science" -- Under what situations do you believe in science here? I would agree that most believe in science when getting on a plane that the plane will more than likely fly, or shooting a missile that the missile will correctly find the target. But if the plane is to take you somewhere to shoot the missile at a group of people, and you're expecting science to enlighten you that what your doing is right or wrong, you're hopelessly lost, because science doesn't care! That's the difference between science and religion, science tells you what you CAN do, and religion tells you what you SHOULD do....and EVERYONE has a religion whether they believe it or not, because everyone has to make these choices that are a lot tougher than those whose answers science can predict.

So basically the only people who see a problem between science and religion are those people to whom science IS their religion...

Thank you. Some of the most creative people I know are carpenters, furniture makers, and other craftsmen. Or are musicians, or painters, or chefs. Most of these people went to a community college at most. Using college degrees to indicate creativity shows a misunderstanding of creativity.
