Jim,

Sorry, but I just cannot agree with you on that.

First of all, if the military is foolish enough to fund you on research
that ends up doing them no good, you have actually helped the cause of
humanity by taking their money.

On the other hand, if you don't accept their money, someone else will,
and all he has to do is read your publications and pick up where you
left off, so, are we ahead or worse off?

I also think you might be a little less inclined to take this step
if you worked at an institution that depended more heavily on
government grants, such as where I am a student.  It's easy to
renounce ARPA when your salary comes from tuition and private
contributions.

Yes, "it's" SHOULD be spelled with the apostrophe here.
