The public seems divided on this. Maybe we should have a national referendum?

I'm involved in Folding@Home. It's a distributed computer program that assists researchers at Stanford Univ. to simulate protein folding to understand diseases such as Alzheimers. Government COULD do a lot to encourage the public to fund research. They could cheerlead the process. Better to encourage direct involvement and have support.
