I almost feel as if there's been some sort of conspiracy against making chemistry interesting. And it's a shame because it's one of the most fascinating subjects in the world, and there's no reason everyone shouldn't know at least a little bit about it. But it's such a powerful realm of knowledge that it's been sterilized in both high school and college education because, the fact of the matter is, that it's dangerous knowledge. If you know too much or you know the wrong things about chemistry, you're capable of making all sorts of drugs; you're capable of making all sorts of weapons, explosives, nerve agents, and on, and on, and on.
