Almost three centuries after innocent Akenside's view, the science is still struggling for its due place in people's mind (and heart) . Instead of liberating humanity in the quest for objective truths, justice and prosperity for all, it became an enterprise industry tied up with interests of powerfull minority, overtaking control of its course.

In praise of Science..where would we be today had not Science unfurled her sail and allowed us on board to explore to conquer to realize each ones dreams.. Thanks for sharing.
