From a post I made on the CTflier forum:

Our national aeronautics agency should be independent, free of politics there for the good of our nation and advancement of [the science or art involved with the study, design, and manufacturing of air flight capable machines, and the techniques of operating aircraft and rockets]. Thinking Pilots are drawn to this national agency.
 
The politicization of this agency to the point where we now rely on Russia for manned space flight coupled with its bizarre political mandate to to improve the self worth of a mostly foreign class of people is heart breaking.  Discussion of this transformation begins with recognition, we haven't come that far yet here.  One side wants to silence the other before we can even acknowledge the loss of a true national aeronautics agency.
 
Question:  Is there any technology with origins at NASA that is part of our FD LSA?

Got a bill from the IRS today for 'Shared responsibility payment you owed'  hmmmmmmmmmm dunno what its for?

Ah, google told me its a bill for not buying health coverage.  Used to be I could afford catastrophic coverage but that's not longer legal for me 

Can't afford Ocare, my medical bills last year where under $2,000 and Ocare wouldn't kick in till I payed about $15,000 

For many like me Ocare is catastrophic coverage at cadillac price.

I recently figured out that I was fat and unhealthy by believing and following the government's 'science' based recommendations.

We are all pretty familiar with James Watts and Micheal Mann et al and how they had to 'hide the decline' in order for the remaining and corrected data to support their theory.

The USDA's food pyramid is similarly based on cherry picked data and an irrelevant study. 

Ancel Keys (Nutritionist for whom K rations are named) got it started with a study in 1953 where he demonstrated a correlation between high saturated fat consumption and high levels of heart disease in 7 countries. This study along with the Russians rabbit study in 1910 is the basis for our modern ideas regarding cholesterol and heart disease.

The problem with the 7 nation study is that Keys had data from 22 nations but had to throw most of it out to show the correlation he believed in.  When the other 15 nations are added there is not correlation between dietary cholesterol and heart disease.  Much like Mann et al hiding the decline to support the hockey stick.

The 1910 study had the same goal and showed a correlation between dietary cholesterol and heart disease but used rabbits that are purely vegetarians and consume zero dietary cholesterol. The same study using omnivores might have been valid but 'science' was okay with relying on these two invalid reports.

In 1988 Surgeon General Coop confirmed (with no new studies / evidence to rely on) that the science was as sound as the science behind tobacco as a health hazard and scared us into following an upside down / wrong pyramid that focused on grains and seed oils. (The problem is these foods cause inflammation that results in atherosclerosis, the very thing they are supposed to prevent.)

Even today the bad science dominates the thinking and people without any calcium deposited in their arteries are prescribed dangerous statins because we are afraid of cholesterol that is essential.

I'm begginning to believe that information from governments supported by popular science are to be believed at you peril.
