One gets the impression that government-run "services" to the general public should be at least largely, if not completely (there may be counter-examples) shunned and rejected. Not necessarily out-of-hand, but at least after analysis of "what could go wrong?" (Which appears to be the total opposite of Congress' approach these days.)
In-credible! Who doesn't know what color the sky is?

Well, normally I tend to stick up for the British on certain things. But in this I have to concur. People here know very little about science. And they don’t care to know. Sort of an alien concept for me but... There it is. We can thank our space race for having a large swathe of our population literate in the sciences.
this is really sad... my kids can answer these questions...
Because Darwin painted it that way.
