MIT OpenCourseWare (haven't tried, but hear good things)

Khan academy (of course)
http://www.khanacademy.org/ [khanacademy.org]
PAID RESOURCES
Kaplan http://www.kaptest.com/ [kaptest.com]
(Take something like the MCAT review if you can afford it for science/physics. They do a really good job of distilling the basics of science/biology/etc. without any nonsense. Disclaimer: I've also taught for Kaplan)
Also, don't discount old fashioned books:
The "Head First" series of books
(Try the "Dummies" books also if you're not insulted by the title)
Head First Physics [amazon.com]
Home Schooling Curricula
Whatever you may feel about the social implications of home schooling, there are some excellent science resources which will catch you up. I will shy away from recommending specific ones for fear of inciting a flame war. I hope someone better versed in these curricula can enlighten us with recommendations.
Textbooks!
Try to get some used textbooks from a used book store, if all you want is the 101 level stuff:
Chemistry (Oxtoby-Nachtrieb) http://www.amazon.com/Principles-Modern-Chemistry-Fifth-Edition/dp/B001F39B2Y [amazon.com]
(There are many nicely written Biology books -- see what you like)
And if you really want to enjoy chemistry:
Chemical Demonstrations, Shakhashiri [amazon.com]
(Warning: do not try these at home until you know what you're doing)
You may also wish to check out your local Makerspace/Hackerspace. You will probably find very educated geeks who'd be more than willing to teach you stuff...

Democracia etimologicamente significa gobierno del pueblo (según Wikipedia). Es decir, por definición, la Democracia no puede ser indirecta, por lo que NO vivimos en Democracia. Por suerte se esta avanzando hacia una Democracia directa en otras partes del mundo http://ping.fm/cxxqJ
