How can anyone disagree with Dave ??
Well I don't!
However it seems to me that FIRST is really opening up a can of worms with this new policy. I think it is easy to understand the points made by those on all sides of this arguement. And I personally feel that this new policy is really about protecting FIRST from the potential liability for not addressing this issue at all. The problem is that FIRST can (and probably should, for their own protection) prohibit anyone from participating if they do not comply. I don't see how the program can continue to grow and thrive under those conditions (prohibiting NASA volunteers ?? THAT'S absurd!). It's a tough problem and I am glad I don't have to make those decisions, unfortunately I don't have any good answers either ...
