Neil Degrasse Tyson: The Smartest Man in the Room - YouTube
for those of you who can view the link:
this is what he says...
"57% of the senate 38% of the house site law as their profession. and when you look at law, law is what happens in the courtroom, it doesn't go to whats right but it goes to who argues best and the entire profession is founded on who the best arguers are. the practice is bred in debating teams where you know the subject but you don't know what side you are going to be put on to argue. and so the act of arguing and not agreeing seems to be fundamental in that profession and congress is half that profession...there are no scientists, where are the engineers, where is the rest of life..."
so really, considering this truth...it's no wonder why congress sucks as bad as they do....
