ROTFLMAO!
You think that this government of bureaucratic enablers would seriously consider really eliminating some of their more helpful assistants? I know you know better, Mark -- you've been there and done that and wrote the Book ^.
Very good line.
I take it you think I don't have a chance in hell of making anything happen. So far, you'd be right. A lot of people went to sleep when Bush got elected. You'd think one smart person with with vision, the time to build a case, and a couple of nickels would want to make the jump, but so far, no. I'm still trying though. I'm setting up a mechanism to validate data by repeated experiment. I've been sitting on that patent application for over three years without a first office action so I might as well get started.
Still, it is quite pleasing to muse upon the thought of Ingrid Newkirk protecting animals in Attica.
