Perhaps you somehow missed my usage of the word "Government" in my above words.
The granting of bucks to research is a relatively new event, thus the prostitution of scientist is a covert ongoing process.
Remove public funding and scientific investigation becomes more in line with other businesses.
Yes- businesses.
Every enterprise involved in research is doing it for some benefit.
Prostitution, in this case is just like the kind we are most familiar with- doing something for money that no normal parent would want their daughter to do.
Only by closing our eyes to the power of money can we imagine these "Researchers" are bereft of influence via the desires of government.
So I'm a prostiture. Well, I better buy a short skirt and some stelatoes. Ladies, should I wax my mid region or shave?
