There are two things that I think will make American strong, being tops in science and tops in global finances. Got that right. But the politicians have to listen to the scientists. Not just about climate change, but about education in general and about infrastructure needs. With climate change causing a general intensification of the hydrological cycle, there will be more powerful storms--not just hurricanes, but thunderstorms and all around deluges. A dam just broke in CA I think it was (I might wrong on location here) both because the dam was in need of maintenance and there was a powerful storm. That will be happening more often if we have business as usual. We have taken both our climate and our infrastructure for granted for too long--the priority has been lower taxes and everything else will take care of itself. It doesn't work that way forever. We will pay the bill one way or another. EDIT: And as far as finances are concerned--we require intelligent regulation and oversight for that. We definitely won't get it with McCain, who will be penny wise and pound foolish.
