: Hmmm. I'm sure that Columbus's crew must have had some misgivings about

	I'm not saying we should cut funding althogether! That's the last 
thing I'd say....  For the time being, funding shound be cut to a more

	If you give me a dollar to buy some candy, one dollar is not 
produced.  Along the way, taxes, wages, rent and other expenses are paid,

substantially less.

: : that I pay taxes to keep me healthy.

: What aboutnthe other things listed, some of which are discrimminatory and
