I am writing an editorial for publication on the above topic and would
like to ask for your help. I've put together some interesting ideas of
my own but would like to throw the leger out to other members of the
scientific community and gather their feelings on the subject

If anyone would care to submit a brief (3-6 setence) on either:

What they feel the role of science in modern America is (popular culture,
media perception, educational settings or interworkings of the scientific
community)

or

What they feel the role of science in modern America SHOULD BE (same areas)

I appreciate your thoughts (preferably your first reaction to the
subject, not a invovled discussion) on the subject. I will cite and
credit ideas and quotes that I use in the essay. In your reply please
also include your credentials.

Thank you for your assistance.
