Quote Of The Day

[Teasel]

In the real world there are corporations, be they pharmaceutical, agricultural, petroleum, or chemical companies, that have billions of dollars at stake in the work of scientists.

As it was put so eloquently in the seventeenth century by a prominent member of Queen Elizabeth's court. "If it prospers, none dare call it treason."
