Exactly. Our values are screwed up. Why do all the hard work (that frankly only some have the intellectual capacity to do), get made fun of, get taken advantage of, get a paltry salary when you could do nothing for the GDP and make millions of dollars. I mean come on Obama, you wanna screw up the engineers more? We have plenty of engineers. They are just not valued.

ABSOLUTELY CORRECT -- too bad Anonymous Coward did not reveal him/herself. Pure genius and tremendous insight. Before you start using your bias (e.g. global warming is a myth) to make a sound judgment, understand sensors and their limitations. I have sold "bad" $400 sensors to auto crash testers who want consistent performance, rather than improved performance (at much lower cost) where they cannot tell subtle differences in data collected year from year.

Texas doesn't make sense.
