No one has the courage to say no ---- Come to think of it BYU did just this

Does this philosophy also apply to NSF funding for basic science research?
How about "Federally funded or controlled" laboratories? Do you believe
that industry and comercial interests are best suited to know what is
worthy of research investment? Is this type of federal expenditure OK?
