That's actually quite a bit different than this post. What the Maddox post is saying is that people are essentially posers, what this post is saying is that it's one thing to claim to love the products of science, but it's another thing to support and love the process of science. People love the data but our society doesn't fund the acquisition of it. Scientists are underpaid, underfunded and are closing up shop all over the US. Maddox's post is a rant (one I don't disagree with).
You have a point. I suppose what I meant was that Maddox also spoke up about his dislike of the Facebook page, but from a cultural perspective.
As an aside, are you through moving? How did everything go?
Oh yeah, we've been in the new place for about three months now. The new roommates have moved in and I couldn't have asked to live with better people. We just threw our first housewarming party on Friday and it was huge hit (we had a jam session going in the basement). The house is just a few blocks away from campus and about a half mile away from work. It's essentially what I anticipated last year being, except now. My parent's being poor has served nicely. Things are almost all sorted out, but I received so much financial aid that the whole of my senior year is covered. I'm taking some awesome classes and have made some cool new friends already. This year is the exact opposite of last year and I couldn't be happier. Thanks for checking up Papa Steve.
