Just because they used some of your money doesn't require you to enjoy your share of the spoils.

It DOES, however, require them to appreciate where the money for their projects and salaries comes from, and to treat it and us with the proper respect. I'm still waiting.

I'll make sure to tell the guys over at NASA to personally come by and thank you for the 12 cents you gave to their project.

BTW, I'm a soldier, I'd like to thank you for the 55 cents worth of your taxes I used. Oh! I almost forgot President Bush wanted me to pass on to you his thanks for the 3 cents of your money he used for a White House electric bill......I'll get on the phone now and call the rest of the government and tell them to report their appreciation to you immediately. Get ready for some phone calls!

You'll get proper respect from NASA before you get it from somebody on welfare or who got paid from your money to paint something obscene and call it "art".

If I could pick and choose where my money went, I would have no problem sending some of it to NASA. I have to thank them for digital cameras if nothing else (my current hobby) for pushing the technology so hard back in the 1960s/1970s so that it's now both cheap and good. That and landing on the moon - anybody who was alive back then knows how proud we were to plant the American flag on the moon while most of the world was doing good to have running water.
