<<< and they don't care about money and Santa is real.

Not like most people. Do you really think Einstein could not have earned more from private industry?? He old have made millions going on a speaking tour. He was the most popular man in the world. He only wanted to think about the universe and take walks with Godel and discuss it.

Nothing more he wanted.

He turned down a house just because it got complicated. He did not have a materialistic bone in his body. He gave his nobel money to his ex. He always lived simply.

My son in law is a well known PHD chemist and could earn many times what he does in private industry. It never crosses his mind. My daughter is a lawyer (UC Berkeley and Loyola) and she pretty much just stays home and raises the kids.

We all try to make a buck like anyone else. But the idea all the scentists are dems so they can get grants is nuts. Besides why can't a Republican get the same grant?

It is preposterous idea, and it important to know when things are just plain stupid.
