FIRST is a private organization but that doesn't mean it can't obtain federal funding. What makes FIRST anyway, our nation's schools right?
Why does it only take only a few posts for someone to make a wonderful thread go bad?

The government really doesnt have money to burn... we have a debt that is somewhere around/over 30 trillion dollars I believe. And although I dont agree with George, I do understand his reasoning, and technically he is correct. The system of Capitalism is supposed to be run by the people for the people, not by the government. Thatd be Socialism/communism/totalitarianism.
And why do you say a wonderful thread went bad? I havent seen any problem so far...
