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.'"

Galelao Persicuted in America for saying the world is round !

Yes indeed! In Jesusland, intelligent design is science and the jumbotrons in megachurches are technology. In an unrelated note, Jesus apparently wants us to assasinate Hugo Chavez! This will be a third world nation, and a colony of China in ten years.
How ya like dat?
Hummmm. Never heard about the french doing that. But then again, I am not too surprised. France has been a lot like the drunken wife of a hard working businessman. Basically, a lot of fun, but damn hard to really want to spend time with, as she likes to backstab.

Nice... a wikipedia entry based on one source from India says Indians invented zero.
See "Zero: The Biography of a Dangerous Idea"
Nice, a book based on one source (a single author) to discredit a wikipedia entry which is created, edited and maintained by thousands of people from all over the world!
