In U.S., if you are a good basketball player (and especially a college 
drop-out), you become a millionaire. On the other hand, if you are a good
scientist (and especially work long and hard enough to be a Ph.D.), you are 
a loser.

Oh yes, I forgot! Another way to make money in U.S. is by being a conservative 
politician. You talk everything but science. People like that around here.

And people don't like if you are a scientist and still talk politics.
