So I was thinking (uh oh), why is one of the leading criticisms posed by Democrats to Sarah Palin indirectly the fact that she’s a woman? Heck, even the public questions what’s going to happen to her family if she becomes Vice President. According to the latest polls, more men have been turned to vote for the Republican ticket than women. I think it’s more than just a coincidence.
I’m going to get in trouble for saying this, but through the medical school application process, I’ve realized that having a minority status seems to be an unfair advantage. It’s as if “minority” is synonymous with “disadvantaged” these days. For someone of South Asian decent, I can hardly call myself a minority in the medical profession especially coming from a relatively privileged upbringing; however, I can imagine wealthy individuals of African American or Hispanic decent who are claiming a minority status to “boost” their chances of getting into graduate school programs.
Unfortunately, it seems that hydrogen power will only become a widely available technology after 15-20 more years of research and development. Isolating what is ironically enough the most abundant element in the universe has proven to be energy expensive and therefore impractical venture. We’re now staring at the very real possibility of purchasing purely electric vehicles as our next modes of transportation.
