(Wow) CHEMISTRY. 


Is that an answer?



Yes, it's an answer. Perhaps not exactly what you wanted, but it's an 

answer.

In a word, the answer is chemistry. There are a whole lot of things we 

use

every day that wouldn't be around if someone hadn't made them. Part of 

that

process involves chemistry. 


I am disturbed by a study that showed ~20% of the people in my state (and
probably the country) are functionally illiterate.
When it comes to technical literacy, I'm sure the number is considerably
larger.  Unfortunately all of these people vote.  Maybe someone can refer
this guy to a simple chemistry text.

b) It doesn't change anything
