Competition demands excellence;

December 30, 2006 by Dr. Mc.

The founders of our country established a wonderful and frustrating tradition, upon which America has grown. It is free enterprise. It is the free market system. When Products compete, consumers win. When political parties compete, the people win. When ideas compete, everybody wins. But when products are not allowed to compete freely, product quality stands still and innovation dies. Today competition is not allowed in America in at least one important area. Ideas are not allowed to compete in the science classroom. Perhaps that is the reason fewer young people are going into science fields. Evolution will never be a truly great theory, because opposing ideas are not allowed to challenge it. Without competition, there cannot be excellence. Without competition among ideas in science, science stagnates, and people lose interest. Excellence demands competition.
