After reading a couple posts at Open Mind I am left wondering what sorts of degrees do politicians get. I checked around via a cursory google search and I found a few wanna be elected officials without any for of higher education bitching that it isn't necessary and citing a list of Presidents that didn't have their college education and not a single one of whom did not surround themselves with men of thought. I found this link from a Western Australia university which strongly suggests a degree that would confer "Knowledge of law, economics and business...". Sot then I got to asking if these are the people that are passing laws influenced by science, why is it that they are not employing scientists? If they are, then I know nothing about it. I propose a new branch of government one composed of scientists who are in control of the actual policies affected by scientific reasoning. Apparently I'm not the first to think about this.
