Science Fairs...

As I stood washing dishes this afternoon I began thinking about the current problems faced by our nation, and the events leading up to it.  And I decided it all boils down to one thing....Not enough participation in Science Fairs...
Anyone who has ever participated in a Science Fair can tell you that if you get an idea, ya have to prove it is right...there are steps...and in the end, even if you do everything right...you can sometimes still have your idea proven wrong...that's the way it works...Even the BEST IDEAS are sometimes proven to be the WRONG IDEAS...

Here's a little outline for those of you who skipped this part of childhood education:
Ask a Question
How Do We Provide Healthcare to Everyone?



Do Background Research
This should include things like how much does this cost, how do we pay for it, how will this effect the current system, and how can we avoid the pitfalls others who have tried this before have fallen into?

Construct a Hypothesis
This is where you have to stand up and state publically what you think is going to happen! 


Test Your Hypothesis by Doing an Experiment
Do research, don't just take the word of your best buddy or listen to what industry leaders say....


Analyze Your Data and Draw a Conclusion
If you don't understand the data you gather from research, get help in analyzing it...from people who actually know what they are talking about...these should be people who have no vested interest in the outcome!  Regardless of whether you like what you find out or not...be brave enough to acknowledge the truth...


Communicate Your Results
Now tell people what you actually found out...not what is convienent...The Truth...folks, and only the TRUTH...
