Personally, if I had read this forum first, I might not have sent that letter nor post it on the website nor tell someone to send out a mass mailing. Then again, I would get complaints about why I didn't do that. It is a democracy after all.

But in all honesty, I guess it was the right move. General education needs money more than FIRST. Gotta have a stable base before launching. That is all there is to it.

And yes, I did just flip-flop in a single thread. Oh well, it is the life of a conservative something (still cannot decide: democrat or republican, goobers or raisinets, ...).

PS: I wonder what Jennifer Granholm is thinking right now. Perhaps she shouldn't have spoken too soon, or what? God only knows.
