You can't see it? Well . . . but say a body actually desired that which you
first said - maybe let's add a jarring li'l bump to an otherwise smooth
slippery slope? Be interesting to trace the funding back to seed - FRT?
(Falllwell Reproductive Technologies), RRNDVC? (Rifffkin Research and
Development Venture Capital). Just off-the-cuff humor mind you. Even if
true, would probably backfire or be easily forgotten. Like a stone in the
river.
