Good old days.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much.

OK possibly a bit unfair - I am sure there are some politicians that do still have honour etc but there are a lot of snouts in troughs!
