Bobert - I happen to be working for a company, a few years back, who won the contract to remediate the Washington DC shcools of asbestos. I'm still not sure this was a worthwhile endeaver, but I was placed in charge of a bunch of crews who worked only at night, in a major high school, a 24 hour a day operation.
            While is was wandering around waiting for the people to finish their work, I stumbled into the library one night. After that, I made a point to go there at every opportunity.
            I found history books that talked at length about the colonization and settling of North America. These books went of for almost two hundred pages about how much the African immigrants had to do with the colonization of America. When it came to talking about what the English had to do with colonizing the United States, they summed it all up in two-and-a-half pages.

                  You're right. It's not all funding.
