[Mr. K]

you are talking about idiot bureaucrats, i am talking about scientists

[muawiyah]

They're the same folks ~ just some of them gave up "science" for "political science".

There seems to be an erroneous belief afoot that holds that scientists are "special" and are "no longer human".

Again, total BS.

They eat, they defecate, they earn money and pay bills. They like to get in out of the rain ~ well, some of them do ~ others stand there twirling around on one foot, hands held out to catch the drops, clothes on the ground ~ ah, yes, I've seen that before.

Now about the "bureaucrats", some scientists actually need keepers.
