State of the Onion Address

Part of the problem is the way math and science is taught as if they
were obscure theoretical subjects with little application to real life
and this is because most teachers do not understand the subjects. This
is even the case in college where the profs are great at theory but
have no understanding of how it all applies in real life.
Depends on the college you go to. Most of my engineering
profs had dozens of patents to their name and had outside
jobs consulting in industry.
A person who know science, math and engineering can read a
psuedo-techie article in the paper and realize when the writer is full
of crap.
Agreed. Same with sailing, you can tell who has really been
there or has good boat sense from the BS'ers.
