>>Can't argue with that. But if there's any relevance of that to the quality of science education of Americans, you'll have to connect the dots. If you can find them. I don't see any indication that Obama could or would do anything to fix that.<< Karen - The post to which you responded about Obama said this: "There are two things that I think will make American strong, being tops in science and tops in global finances. It’s nice to have a few nukes to make people listen but our current aggressive foreign policy is counter productive. Will McCain change that? " You then asked "Will Obama change that?" I took the original question about McCain to refer to foreign policy, and thus responded to that. I think his point was that lately, we have been trying to stay on top by having an aggressive foreign policy, as opposed to concentrating on staying competitive in science and finance. There's no direct connection between science policy and foreign policy, but one can see that there are many indirect links. Certainly, changing our foreign policy would be a good first move, and it wouldn't take long to accomplish that. - Allen
