Are You Walking a Razor's Edge Between Political Passions and Poles?

I've noticed you've been on presidential commissions, science commissions over the years. Do you feel that you need to walk a razor's edge between political passions and poles on questions of religion or hot button issues? I just wanto enlighten people as an educator, thats i have no other objective in this. What you do politically in the face of those objective truths is your business, not my business.
