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. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

This is the biggest letdown since Atw said he would take on Google in search engine technology in 2003.
Basically this was a gift to the big banks, and a few crumbs to normal investors.Comment
