    I am a student teacher who will soon be knocking on doors for a job. I am staunchly American. The relatives back in the U.K. are sometimes put off by my views. I say...:p

    So why hasn't Steelgate signed on to this thread??

    ;)

    I'm (one of) TheSite's reg's who does little else but ponce about and make smart-assed remarks.

    I used to post on here a bit but then the whole gun-ownership and Sep 11th thing came up and I kinda bailed out the forum, too many obvious arguments for my liking.

    Educated a bit I suppose, but mostly in science which bears little relevance to politics. Don't even know what my political standpoint is, guess you'll be able to tell me better than I know myself.

    I'm thinking of returning and perhaps posting something useful, but TBH I'll usually only post in threads where I have a vague idea of the situation or anything science related.

    I disagree, I think science and engineering does have a relevance to politics Certainly more than philosophy or art! Its all very well talking about policy and theorising, but I believe we need more politicians who can actually implement their own policies.

    Government needs practically minded people who can make things happen.

    On the contrary, Skipper, I'd say that politics is applied philosophy, and that to do philosophy properly one has to do it scientifically.
