The Decline of Science and Technology in America

puke76 writes "There's a good article over on the BBC about the decline of science and technology in the U.S.. Vint Cerf and others are going on record to voice their concerns about the current administrations recipe for 'irrelevance and decline.' Scientists are increasingly concerned about the White House's pandering to the religious right at science's expense. From the article: 'radically we have moved away from regulation based on professional analysis of scientific data ...to regulation controlled by the White House and driven by political considerations.'"

After reading this opinion column I see more frustration in British glory, and distaste with a politcal leader, than lose of American edge. The fun part about this article is that it reminds me a of that people often only see in thing that which they had already believed.
