Comment I'm interested in a more general question (Score 2, Insightful) 1583
That such candidates as Brownback, Tancredo, and Huckabee, whose apparent science knowledge is not even at the third-grade level, can rise to such prominence in US politics leads me to ask a more general question:
"We live in a world that is ever more complex in the depth and breadth of technology. I realize that no politician, or any human for that matter, can be conversant in the nuts and bolts of every area of knowledge, but what can you say to convince me that you know enough about science and technology to be able to appoint legitimate experts to serve as your science advisers and agency chiefs?"
