That Darn Overhead Projector!

Here is a great defense of government spending on science and education that so appalls John McCain. It includes comments from University of Chicago Professor of Astronomy who cites the mission of the Alder Planetarium's SkyTheater: "on inspiring young people, particularly women and minorities, to pursue careers in science."

I long for the day when spending billions on wasteful, unnecessary wars is criticised, and spending on the science that inspires us and moves us forward is praised.
