" Sorry, but you're using poor logic. "
I'm not going to get into a personal-attack-flame-battle with you...
You apparently believe that government is benevolent and even-handed. (And that 'private' is not)
I don't....
I'm willing to agree to disagree....
LOL! Pointing out a logical fallacy is about the most impersonal approach there is! I don't care if you're Ronald Reagan or Cindy Sheehan, a dog ain't a table just because it has four legs, and denying the antecedent is fallacious reasoning and misrepresenting my point.
You apparently believe . . .
What's that about not personal? ;-)
I believe that in SOME cases, public funding is a necessity. I believe that in SOME cases, governmental funding--or even researching--can be positive and unbiased. On the other hand, private research can be unbiased, or biased.
For example, NASA got us to the moon faster than private research/industry would have. No investors would have risked for that end result, and likely no single contractor could have pulled together the needed expertise and clout. But does that mean I think all research should be agency-driven? Heck, no!
