Though misguided in the economic quagmire of this country that disguises the realities of life, these are true urges of humanity - this is what we are: the creators of our own lives. That is what reason in its earliest formulation is: of that which is, that it is, humanity is the measure. This is science - the thought that by our own ingenuity in interpreting repetititve events, we can devine physical laws defining what we believe to be the world - and they can be [at least in part] universal - they can work. We can engineer things based on this knowledge. They may not be the ultimate truth, as even mathematically speaking, we have no way to capture truth, we only ever approximate it, but they can build the Verrazano Bridge, put humans in space, and destroy the planet.
