In college there was one professor who tried to convince us that pure academic research without practical application was the only moral career choice, though he ignored that the rest of us would be forced to pay for his expensive hobby. If you feel that way then you should be taxed to support my scientific hobbies too, without questioning my needs or results. I'd like an X-ray fluorescence analyzer and a turbomolecular high vacuum pump, please. An atomic absorption spectrophotometer would be nice too.
