First, calling "political science" a science is an oximoron. That said, mathematics, when taught properly, teaches a student to break problems down and solve them, logically.

GM has a history of car automatic transmissions that fail at 60K miles, so the elimination of it from the drive train is a positive thing. Now, will they continue to make cars that handle like a rolling water balloon?
"Government either refines the quality or it magnifies the faults of the people which it represents in the measure that it is itself influenced by those individuals."
