The thread title is "...Americans overwhelmingly favor allowing 
doctors to prescribe marijuana."  It isn't about space or science literacy. 
Consequently, your post is a little ludicrous.  I suppose your point is that 
Americans are stupid and must be told what to think on issues such as this by 
educated elite.  I strongly disagree with you on both points.
