A fellow Scientist

Xander crying today while watching a ficionalized "docudrama" on Einstein: "mommy they are persecuting him! He's a fellow scientist! They are not being fair". 

First of all love how he already sees himself as a scientist and that Einstein is a peer :) 

This led to a discussion on how scientists like Galileo were often persecuted as they were often ahead of their time. Today instead of executions they pigeonhole scientists to only do what is profitable rather than what is good for society as a whole. It was a very interesting end to the day.
