He works for some fed lab. Our government thinks it is OK, under the
guise of 'promoting the general welfare' to extort money from taxpayers
(theft), squander a little on 'research', while filching the lions'
share to pay corporate contributors with government contracts who
kick-back 'campaign contribution' bribes to politicians.
Lawful government only acts to prevent crimes against life, property and
freedom:

There is something known as "Opportunity Cost".
The feds demand I pay them to research solar cells, windmills, and space
stations, so 'spin-offs' will make our lives better. If the private
sector undertook such research it would be done efficiently and
effectively, or not at all.
The market place punishes ineffectiveness. Government rewards it.
Business must compete to give you the most value at the least profit and
waste to stay in business. Government gives you the least value you can
tolerate at the greatest expense, because it is a monopoly. Not only a
monopoly for the research it extorts money for, but most aggregiously, a
monopoly on violence to extort money by force.

What is your value? If there is any meaning or value for you
individually, perhaps it is your very own life? And by what virtues do
you attain this value, your life? How about such values as self-esteem,
reason and productivity?
Why aren't you manufacturing crank? It is very profitable, and with
electronics and a bit of savvy for anonymity with drop sites and pagers,
you're not likely to get caught, even though your minions will rot in
jail, and customers get addicted, sick and dead.
Self esteem no doubt. You want to be productive, creative, because you
love life. Otherwise, you wouldn't be here. Throughout history diverse
cultures developed religions and the concept of *God* as a spirit, an
ideal of creativity and life, even the means to attain the values and
virtues through service and prayer. Perhaps the name of your god, what
you live for, is 'creativity' or 'life'?
On the other hand, perhaps you are just doing what you watched others
do, what your father did, because you don't think or are very aware.

Perhaps God knows what is in our presidents heart. I don't know, I've
heard too many cheap political excuses to believe any more excuses. Such
as the "free market" excuses why Bush passes by California Samaritans,
robbed and pushed into a gamed-commodities market ditch by his fellow
Texan and contributor Ken Lay, CEO of Enron.
George Bush admonishes us to "Love our neighbor as we want to be loved".
Like Jesus' told him.
Problem is, we are not Brother Bush's neighbors. Brother Bush's
neighbors are all worth over $5 million, as are Comrade Kerry's neighbors.

We are peasants, forced and expected to tolerate double-standards and
live for an aristocracy of fascists or communists.
An acquaintance defended the government's policies by stating that what
government was to me was not what it was to him. He was happy with what
government did with his money. Kind of like saying "life is hard".
"Tough luck". "Dog-eat-dog world".
Our dear Christian president tells us to treat others as we want to be
treated. To volunteer to serve the collective. While I am looted and
told, "life is hard".

I try not to get personal, I envy Chris Carlen. I wish the feds paid me
to learn and build stuff, rather than having paid me to squander
extorted taxpayer money, and console myself with not being as miserable
as other sick and miserable people employed at the sick, miserable
national lab I worked at.
I should have just said, "Mr. Carlen, God damn your sick, mean, evil
government employer", but a few drinks fog the mind.
