    The board, which was created in 1950 to be an independent entity to guide the National Science Foundation, is made up of scientists and engineers from universities and industry.

    Doesn’t sound very independent when the president can fire them willy-nilly

        Stop quoting this asshole, he advocated not voting which is why the world has a strong right wing.

              He did not. He pointed out how stupid the people are that run it and how stupid the people are that fall for it. He never said he didn’t like democracy. He warned us of the downfalls of it.

                Some ignorant cunts just don’t understand when someone is giving them a warning in the form of sarcasm.

          The amount of assholeness depends on distance according to GC. Per Enstain time is also a dimension. Thus your comment fits perfectly with GC’s declaration. Someone dead for several year…that Guy’s an ASSHOLE! But if they’re a car away from you juggling two knives and a BB pea shooter they’re just kind of an asshole. Eight next to you and pretty much alive and in their prime and having a very muscular fitness and several inches of height over your receding hair line, they’re probably in the negative asshole territory "well hello sir! Everything your say is true, how long may I suck your precious member for? And do you need anything to drink? Anything at all?
