All that I ask is what the candidates official position is on science and technology in general and how would they lead us given it's impact and relevance to infrastructural and social change and specifically legislation that may be, in part, or in whole, derived and applicable from it.
In other words, I'm not asking them to tell me how they feel about something like...oh...let's say genetically modified food being a great market opportunity. I would like to hear their official position on the science itself and applications derived from it that may or may not be introduced to the human species through political legislation. Seems like an honest, fair and relevant enough question.
That is all. Thank You. Good idea, taftfan...
If I just heard an answer to this one particular question, regardless of if I disagree or agree with the prospective representatives position there would be a lot less pissing and moaning from me around here. I'd be a happy camper. It's a very important question. It's the very stuff that dictyates and defines change during these very delicate times of transition from the Industrial Age to the Information and Technology Age.
