No, you aren't alone. I believe there are different solutions for different cultures and different nations. It wouldn't allow for individuality in the different nations if the whole world was one way either. Cultures take to different kinds of systems better or worse than others. There's a reason why there are so many different ways of running government.

Hello, I'm a college student and crazy enough to be majoring in chemistry . But I find it the most interesting My name's actually Natalie. Umm, yeah, that's me. I have no life haha. I'm in organic chemistry right now as a sophomore, and I play tennis. i'm quite proud of scipHun as a nickname. coming from science and fun or "pHun" with pH hehe. OR you could pronounce it "siphon".

Well, I am liberal/socialistic myself, BUT I do know pharmacy majors who are conservative/capitalistic and even other science majors including chemistry. Therefore, from that statement, I do believe that it also depends on the person and their personality. But also what they're in science for. A lot of pharmacy majors I knew were in it for the degree out of college and job and money. You can't blame them. I actually grew up and went to a conservative college for a year(and then transferred here which is very liberal). So I've been around conservatives. I've just always been naturally curious about the world around me. I got more and more liberal as I learned more and more about the world, too. I also agree that science is always looking forward. The religious right and conservatism in general either looks at the present and now or the past. Science never looks back, it's always looking forward. Liberalism allows looking forward. I think the scientific community is just that, a community. Therefore socialism seems to fit. I won't go into socialism because I don't really have that much time to...I just wanted to say my two cents and take a bit of a break from my studying....

Well...as far as good smells go....benzaldehyde smells pretty good...and we just used...hmmm.....I can't remember it now...it was a nitrogen reagent...aha! tricaprylmethylammonium chloride or aliquat 336. It smelled bad. In organic lab we're doing a convergent synthesis of hexaphenylbenzene. Other smells I like, leather, specifically that around horses. And new cans of tennis balls.
