Quote:That's the problem. To begin with, the money provided for those government grants are not coming out of the Washington lawmakers pockets. That money is coming out of the taxpayers pockets. To throw our money away like that without some responsible oversight as to how it's spent is one reason why our country is $1.5 trillion in debt.
I don't care how government grants work, the money is still coming out of the taxpayers pockets, (Washington finds it pretty easy to throw other peoples money around). NPR has a history of intolerance toward opposing viewpoints and open debates. Why should my money fund that kind of forum? NPR should be cut off from the taxpayers dole.
What evidence do you have that grant money is being "throw(n) away" by NPR? I seriously doubt that they can afford to "throw" any money away. Perhaps you could also cite examples of NPR's alleged intolerance. (this should be good)

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!
