   You'ld like to live in a country that where there were no first
   repsonders?  had no defense against Al-Quaeda?  did not fund early
   work on computers?  never experimented with ARPANET?

   The government is not all good, and I won't claim it is.  But I won't
   buy into that "government is _only_ bad" thing.

   I now more that one poster in c.o.v has made some of his money by 
   government contracts.
