"The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present and is gravely to be regarded.

Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite."

-President Dwight D. Eisenhower's Farewell Address (1961)

I think more and more that this was probably the most important speech of the 20th century.

I had measles as a child and barely remember it as being any different than a cold. I have never heard of anyone being hospitalized or anyone losing a loved one due to measles. Looks like just another case of fear mongering for profit.
