Hi Platt, Now you are speaking blasphemy. Watch out for that bolt of lightening or is that a tomato being lobbed by Arne. I have submitted grant applications to the DOEdu to improve education for disable kids, but never got funded. I don't know what they spend their money on. I like Jimmy Carter's department of energy. It was set up to achieve energy independence. For all I know they are using their money to fund Brazilian oil research and development. There seem to be almost 2,000 people employed. Besides making H bombs, maybe those guys should be out looking for oil (black gold, Texas Tea, Jed), or at the very least going down into coal mines (heh, heh). I wonder how much energy it takes to run that department? But this is not a political forum, unless of course we are analyzing how Quality takes a meandering path, often derailed by those who need to be leaders, and by those who need to create them. Prohibit leadership and followers is what I proclaim from my high vantage point over those masses! Silly humans...
