Take 2: 14 Important Science Questions
Posted in Media, Politics, Science, The Debate on September 15th, 2008 by JoyThe previous thread to this subject for the Obama campaign's responses to these questions has grown too lengthy to follow and has diverted widely to unrelated political subjects. Which is okay to a point, but in this thread I'll work harder to keep things on topic.
Senator John McCain's campaign has submitted their responses to those same 14 science policy questions, and those responses are now listed side-by-side with Obama's at Science Debate 2008. These display some strong contrasts that should serve to inform the public fairly well about how each of the candidates would approach the important issues of science, education and technology as we head into the second decade of the 21st century, with our economy is tatters and continuing to spectacularly fail on an almost daily basis (Merill Lynch and Lehman's both went down this weekend, just a week after the the nation's primary mortgage lenders were nationalized due to criminal bankruptcy).
Please use this thread for discussion of the actual questions and the contrasts (if any) between the campaigns' responses to them. Thanks!
