    The priorities come from the money, period.

but the money is controlled by this select group of individuals - some of whom as has been noted are felons . . . Since they control the money, the way they choose to allocate it helps shape priorities . . .

    And I'd rather they be spending money on something science-related than just about anything else.

well, since you put it that way . . .
