Obama’s Science Czar Tells Students: America Can’t Expect to Be Number One in Science and Technology Forever
From Weasel Zippers:The left’s ultimate goal, ending America’s dominance in all key areas (economically, military, technology etc.) …
(CNSNews.com) – The Obama administration’s top science and technology official, who has argued for the economic de-development of America, warned science students last Friday that the United States cannot expect to be “number one” forever.
“We can’t expect to be number one in everything indefinitely,”Dr. John P. Holdren said at the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).
Holdren is director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy and chairs the President’s Council of Advisors on Science & Technology (PCAST), making him the top science adviser in the administration.

Why the hell can we not expect to be number one forever? We could, if we didn't have communist weasels in power.
Once again please forgive my ineptitude with posting vids but right now CNN has this great vid of Michael Specter giving a TED audience hell about the fashionable fear of science. It's at http://www.cnn.com/2010/OPINION?04/13/specter.denying.science/index.html?hpt+C1
He's focusing on the opposition to measles and other vaccines by people who insist they cause autism. We're at risk from diseases that were "wiped out" decades ago because airheads who believe measles shots made their kids autistic.
These people are from the 3rd world school of nation building and they are trying to build one RIGHT HERE
Epa,
Exactly.
I agree with Epa.
However, I would also add that, even if we can't be #1 forever, it is always stupid to PLAN on not being #1.
We ought to always plan on how to do the very best we can, and our best, according to our track record, is TO WIN.
