I am posting a link to a web page by the organizers of Science Debate 2008. They originally scheduled several debate venues and times along with invitations to all the Presidential candidates to debate these key questions about their commitment to the role of science and technology in solving very big issues.
All the candidates either flatly declined or ignored the invitations, apparently because they felt the topics were too specialized or not general enough to be of interest. Whatever the reason, these questions that were to be considered are too important to ignore. Here they are: http://www.sciencedebate2008.com/www/index.php?id=35
I recommend that everyone look over these questions and start to pester the candidates with them until we get an idea about their policy positions. These questions relate to the very quality of life in this country and how we can balance the resources we have to solving some big problems. The Obama campaign has these questions now, and needs to address them soon.
