Americans of a certain age grew up with science the way an earlier generation grew up with baseball and even earlier ones grew up with politics and religion.

I'm hoping that, in the future, we'll look back on history and see a clear reason why the US began taking steps backwards and revolted against sound methodologies in an attempt to push complex problems to the side as the rest of the modern world continued to make progress. Maybe we'll identify some reason for culture backlash, some generational gap, some error in education.
Dare I take the political route and blame this on 9/11?
