I agree. Therefore, I am donating at least $25,000/yr for basic medical and scientific research that is essentially otherwise unfunded. It broke my heart seeing my PI waste every waking moment writing grant proposals, most of which I doubt were even read. I was crushed when my best friend was driven to suicide by the pressures of this hyper-competitive, ultra-PC environment where funding is scarce and new $100,000,000 building construction is outpaced only by the unchecked growth of administrative overhead. If you want politics and PC agendas out of research and scholarship, you have to fund it yourself.
