    We can learn a lot from history, but to stop trying to further our understanding is simply foolish. How can we remain modern in any way unless we continue to seek understanding of ourselves and our new developments?

    Why would we fear knowledge? Funding social science -- including political science -- research is an excellent use of tax dollars. If not us, who?

    Whether they were a political science major or not, EVERY politician should be aware of how much this program has affected their lives and their career. To deny that fact is a tragic mistake!
