Quote:I can see why I blocked you. You say things like this with nothing to convince me of this. You expect me to just take "scientists make bad politicians" without any reason. You're a pseud.
Interesting that you were able to read my post after having blocked me, but no matter.
The reason I didn't go into more detail about scientists being lousy politicos is that you can use the internet as well as I can. Had you done a few brief web searches, you might never have started this thread. Since you seem to prefer being spoon-fed, I'll provide you with a few examples:
Isaac Newton: Member of Parliament for a total of two years, he never engaged in debate or offered a single piece of legislation to be considered (his only comment is reputed to be that he asked a window be closed). As master of the Royal Mint, he precipitated a silver crisis. He managed to get on the wrong side of the Astronomer Royal (and thus the Court in general), because of some shady publishing he engaged in.
Max Weber: Helped to author and vigorously defended Article 48 of the Weimar Constitution.
Margaret Thatcher: Economic policies which caused significant recession, institution of a poll tax, drastic cuts to education funding which resulted in a ten year 'brain drain' (Britons going overseas to school), some of the highest petrol prices in UK history due to taxes.
Have yourself a wee google - you might learn something.
