What does that have to do with what we are talking about? I was saying why so few scientists are Republicans. That was the thesis of the discussion. Can you at least try and follow the line of the debate. And what is this bullshit the reality of an idea is defined by the commercial success. You think Einstein's discovery of the "theory of Relativity" was defined by its commercial success or Maxwell, Bohr and the rest of his buddies-lol. The success was defined by its being true-lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good lord Bob. <<Engineers make scientists dreams come true. The reality of an idea is defined by commercial success in the field and market. I simply cannot convince of the importance of follow the money - except I am sure if we were talking about Nixon.>>
