"We shall restore science to its rightful place"

[TZ]

I was in DC for Obama's swearing in today and this phrase from his speech nearly brought me to tears and made me think of my peeps here in this group.
I look forward to 4 years of rationality and scienctific literacy!

1. I caught that in the courtroom of the law school....

and I started clapping like a loon at the television when he said that bit about science (and I noticed the audience in DC started clapping, too)

:fistbump:

2. We were watching it in the lobby

And most of us clapped and yelled at that part. I also appreciated the 'those of none' regarding faith. At least we were acknowledged.

I'm off to the lounge where I assume all your pics are posted. :)

This evil atheist scientist thanks President Obama!

Ah, how much better it feels to have a Special Relationship with someone who's actually got a brain in his skull.
