Your right, it is. So I wish you would have answered my question, what is your expertise to make such assertions:

(what are you talking about? Anyone who knows anything about science knows that there is a different science being putting a man on the moon and cloning, compared to the suggestions you are making)

Its funny you say that ... to someone who studies / works in the field of science, with particular focus on fields like laser power fusion, photovoltaic cells (aka solar cells). Being directly immersed in the field, you learn a thing or two about science and the politics of new science. If anything, what you suggest is pie in the sky. What I suggest is a leaner and more efficient society - hey, dirty China is doing it. Wasteful America is doing. But Calgary, AB is still gunning down the deerfoot in their 1 ton truck or SUV.
