I would have downloaded it but I wasn’t sure how to get Shawn to autograph that.

I was trying to follow Shelby’s advice and read it slowly, to absorb it; the problem is that it is written so well and it flows so smoothly that before I knew it I was on Chapter 6. I am learning a great deal about the process of the American science milieu and how we have come to be in such danger because of certain events in history that really surprised me.

Yes, this is a must read for everyone who wants to figure out the best way to fix the future.

I’ll read it a second time, slowly after I have raced through it on first reading.

I thought about coming groaning in pain and still hopped up on painkillers, but I thought that might be distracting. Will get my hands on this book as soon as the next grant goes out.
