Here I disagree.
It seems to me that if maybe the people who are fighting our cause in
congress were sufficiently aware of all these other issues; if we didn't
just keep hammering home "MONEY FOR RESEARCH" over and over again, but
reminded them that there are real people with real issues involved. -
maybe, just maybe be, 62% of the money wouldn't have been channelled off
to other causes.....!

and if I am but for myself, what am I,
