look to the media... watch what they promote/market/endorse... they are 'bashing' engineers/scientists/technologists but show a puff piece about a kid playing with snakes, celebrating it.
my point, as stated before, is to stop bashing the fields we need (which might be the liberals point ... anything that hurts America) and celebrate them alongside the lizard boy.
do we need the lizard boy? sure... but we don't need millions of them. the fields that get bashed by the media are needed for defense and help make the country strong (which may be the reason they are bashed by the media)
and if you didn't know, when the media puts out puff pieces, it is marketing that item. in this case, they would be marketing in an effort to produce more herpetologists (to be kind... otherwise they are just creepy kids collecting snakes & bugs)... where is the same puff piece endorsing technology/science/engineering ?
Lighten up. Most people don’t use media puff pieces to choose their careers, and the ones that do probably shouldn’t be in scientific or engineering fields anyway.
