1) Good Call [by zip100 on February 21, 2008]
Killed. Excellent. There's no way I want my family's income on this. This is not the business of government. Or rather, it shouldn't be until the government figures out how to MAKE its own money. In the meantime, when the only means the government has to come up with spending dough is to TAX us poor slobs, I say avoid expenses like this one. It's inappropriate. Let private foundations and individuals raise the dough. Leave us out of it altogether.
