THAT is the kicker, right there!! A bunch of money, WASTED, that could be used for missile defense, medical research, energy research, or (heaven forbid )a tax cut, going to a think-tank, to give a 300 YEAR prediction. But I keep forgetting:: With Liberals,it is not the result that counts, it's the intentions.
