But, you don't BUILD a freaking economy around something that amounts to nothing more than a support industry.
Why not? We built an economy based on building more and more stuff, and just look where it got us. http://www.gradientmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/edward-burtynsky-manufactured-landscape-photography-01.jpg
Nuclear power has lost a lot of credibility with me over the last few days. Now, I'm not sure if I should ever have given it any.
1960's technology doesn't have much credibility with me either. Hasn't since 1980.
Your Slashdot UID is low enough that you should know how to make links (especially when it show you how right underneath the text box). Fucking moron.
There is no button to make links that I can see in my Safari 3.2.1. I have "Preview", "Quote Parent", "Options" and "Cancel".
I think the solution is basic education in the scientific method and statistics for everyone, beginning in elementary school.
Ok, if nobody asks, I will: tell me why would basic education in the scientific method be a solution? Just because someone is a scientist doesn't make them correct, and scientists disagree about scientific things all the time. The scientific method is great for problems that can be pulled apart to their smallest components, but there is a large class of problems that are known as "wicked": problems that defy solution by scientific method because they have multiple causes that interact in different ways, making analysis impossible. If the causes of autism are interrelated and sometimes contradictory, why should I even ask a scientist?
My sister opened a computer store in Hawaii. She sells C shells down by the seashore.
