science and art ways forward together

The situation remains that scientists and/or engineers created nuclear weapons for which
we have no anitdote. I think this reality of our current world does undermine if not
negate the standing of science and engineering. Why should we/I trust, better yet how can
we ensure that science and scientific method will take us in a different direction? Can
science and engineering be value free or outside the domain of values?

Well, Miz. Racuya-Robbins: 

Who is it that has agreed year after year to pay the taxes, those very same  taxes which over the past 64 years have subsidized these evil initiatives for which there is no antidote , if I may be so bold to ask?

Oh, wait!  I know!

It's us, the not-so-innocent masses.

And now it's time to reintroduce my favorite of all times quote from Walt Kelly, author of the  "Pogo" comic strip.

Are you ready?




"We have met the enemy, and he is us."
