If your research outfit received a grant from a Republican government that you openly attacked, would you be a hypocrite if you didn't quit your job? Let's say the money came from a particularly odious piece of legislation that had a whole bunch of shit in it that you despised...and your grant program was "moved" under this umbrella. Now what? And to bring it full circle, let's say you were on the brink of an important discovery with the potential to help millions of people, and the money would be a critical in allowing you to continue your research.....what do you do? How do you reconcile your principles with your intentions to help people? Do you quit? If you don't, are you necessarily a hypocrite? Again, I don't think Ryan is anywhere near this altruistic, and he probably is a hypocrite...i just don't think this stands alone as evidence of such. That's all. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:354542 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
