Researchers can research whatever they want, but when they want someone else to pay for it that someone else should have a say in where their money goes.

Myself, I’d like to research a nice quiet beach but I can’t get a grant for that either.

“...a series of federal grants to researchers interested in examining sexual behaviors...”

The problem, which I heard about directly from doctors when I worked in a medical library, was that too often the people involved in these studies “exagerrated”.

I suspect that is doctor double-speak for boasting or fibbing, take your choice!

The grants were publicly criticized by some members of Congress as unworthy of taxpayer funding, saying the money should have gone for research into "devastating diseases."

Impossible! Everyone knows that only the war criminal and Gaia-raping George W. Bush is the only politician standing in the way of research! ;')

Thanks neverdem.
