I'm a little concerned that the best you can say about
FIRST is that they "aren't totally diabolical." I honestly believe
FIRST's goals are pure and not corrupt. Are you implying that this isn't the case?
Whether on purpose or by accident,
FIRST has created something pretty amazing. I've always thought that what makes it so amazing is that the politics don't matter all that much. It's not so much what
FIRST does, but what
FIRST allows others to do. Inspiration and Recognition; that's what
FIRST is about, right?
