go science whoo!

Part of the problem with our lack of interest in science is that terms like scientist and doctor no longer carry the weight that they used to.  In the days of Dr. plumber and anyone with a few hundered bucks can get a phd. from a bull shit collage, anyone can be an instant expert with out the real knowledge and study that those terms imply.  While giving credability to who ever steals those terms, it also takes away from the credability of the people who actually earned it. Which leads to a lack of respect for science, and then interest in what it does because it has become just another viewpoint of life, instead of the truth (or as close as we can hope to get to truth) that it is.
