BBC on Science and Policy or lack of Science in modern policy

BBC NEWS | Magazine | The struggle over science

"Science relies on freedom of inquiry, and one of the hallmarks of that freedom is objectivity - government relies on the impartial perspective of science for guidance..." Those are the words of President Bush in 1990 - George Herbert Walker.

I just don't even know what to say. It will be interesting to see how long the country takes to recover from the systematic plundering that is happening. Our white house makes policy to suck the dick of those that keep them in power even going against proven fact, both scientific and otherwise. The education system and the nations intelectual capital are paying the price. I don't think either will bounce back quickly.
