I disagree. Scientific discoveries are not motivated by fear. Scientists love their work. Fear, scare tactics, " you can't do it on your own without our help and protection " is the Democrats' mantra. That is what has devastated the inner city, TA =============================================== Message #15050 from TigerPaw at Dec 20, 2000 11:13 AM chopping companies prevents further development. Again, I disagree. While a company needs money for R&D, what it really needs is the incentive to make things better. Competition provides that incentive. A company will find it much cheaper to just keep on making whatever they have that works. A new product requires training, factory changes, new suppliers, and displacement. It is the fear that a competitor might develop something new that keeps the R&D focused on innovation and not just cost reduction. TP
