America, Science, and the President

With the Presidential elections hardly more than a year away i think, we as Americans, have to ask ourselves who we want to lead our country and speak for us. Do we want Evolution and Global Warming deniers? Do we want the scientifically illiterate to control our energy policy, our schools and universities and our research and space exploration?

In a very real sense, this is what we are voting for. We can elect to further our understanding of science and reason...or we can vote for ignorance and superstition.

Listen to what the various candidates on the Right are saying....are these people you would trust with our children's future? Do they sound intelligent? Are they scientifically literate? Have they any understanding of how the world and the universe works?

I submit that  a vote for any Republican or like-minded individual is a step backwards to the Dark Ages.....That superstition, religious fundamentalism and the denial of scientific principals and theories has no place in a 21st. century government.

Lets all get out and VOTE for people who will act rationally and in our best interests. The alternative is an administration based on ignorance and intolerance of "intellectualism".
