Maybe not, but he would supply the mathematical economic theories which is then applied to the government Capitalist system, directly affecting the flow of capital to-and-from economic sourcepoints. Just watch A Beautiful Mind for fluff's sake! P.S. You're too paranoid about terrorists. I don't know the stats, but you're probably 10,000 times more likely to die being hit by a car than in a terrorist attack <_< |

The terrorist thing was just an example. It could be anything else, from thieves to mafias. And I don't think we really need to spend as much as we do on "science". I mean, I'm all for progress and all that, but frankly, enough is enough. We don't need to spend trillions of dollars buildings satellites that don't do anything useful. Heck, with just 5 billion dollars you can feed every poor person in India for a whole year. |

How come I've never had a problem with terrorism and theives, and nor has any I've ever known? And I lived 10 years in the states...

I've never had a problem with any of those, and I'm a canadian youth in a shitty neighbourhood who's lived there 15 years................ So, to the both of you: Ha. |

Sometimes useless science is good for national security. For instance, all computing is based on mathematics. That means all critical information that is encrypted is protected by complex, ever changing algorithms. Math plays a big role in everything, it's actually pretty interesting. And I don't mean that math is involved in throwing a baseball or something ridiculous like that. I mean that complex math is used in a lot of jobs. Did you know that being a person who designs boxes requires lots of math? Boxes! You need to know lots of specific mathematics that relate to volume and area so that you can design boxes with maximum volume to strength (cardboard strength related to area) ratios. |

I would like to re-use my quote that Parasky sigged. Just replace "education" and "get an education" with "science" and "use science," respectively. |

Internal stability is part of national security. As for the last part of your post.... What?
