The Importance of Scientific Literacy

"At least once a week, if not once a day, we might each ponder what cosmic truths lie undiscovered before us, perhaps awaiting the arrival of a clever thinker, an ingenious experiment, or an innovative space mission to reveal them. We might further ponder how those discoveries may one day transform life on Earth."
~Neil Tyson

That would cut into TV, i pod, reality show, fair and balanced Faux News, blog reading, commenting, texting, YouTube, Facebook and especially The Pron time.
