Progress in science is not made by changing the minds of scientists of mature age. Neither is progress in politics.
Unfortuantely, although we have a suitably young president, the Congressional leadership is clogged with senior citizens. We are just working our way through the last of the "greatest generation" and starting on the Korean War generation. We haven't even got to the baby boomers yet.
