Sowell is almost always right on but Milloy make a good point about the current situation and the funding. In a perfect world the Scientists would police themselves but the lure of money has destroyed science as it once was. The people living in the country now only what free things and the intellectuals are no better wanting grant money to enhance their status. The politicians wanting power give both groups what they desire and there is only one way this can end! Lets hope there is a rebirth of freedom sometime not to distant from now.
