Uh… you changed the subject from legal irresponsibility of the elected over to your OCD tech of driverless cars. I wonder where a majority of the US public – that is currently reported as being unable to come up with a sudden $500 check – will get the money for these pipedreams. And then we hav

I believe there is a great deal of corruption in academic science. Several cold fusion researchers, biologists and others have told me about incidents such as harassment, publishing fraudulent data, stealing data during peer-review, and so on. Academic science has a public reputation of being ethic
