    I understand enough to know that a toilet seat should not be $10,000 for ANY application. If there really is some reason they can't use a plastic $5 toilet seat, give them some diapers and send me the change! I am sick of paying taxes to do things I don't want done or agree with! Send me my money back so I can buy a boat. It won't have a toilet, but I will put a $5 seat on the side so anyone that wants to can poop overboard, but it is $10,000 per use (CASH ONLY PLEASE to cover the research and development).

    It has to be light and fire proof as well as strong! I would rather see it go to the military that a bridge to no where or WELFARE! Or to pay the health care of an illegal Alien! At least we get some return! It's called freedom!

    TESTING?? RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT??

    You mean take an existing scuba mask, and mold an existing dive computer into it. Add a Radio Shack LED display, and you are done. They want you to believe it is all expensive stuff, but really it is all a crock.

    That research and development money is buying the execs. at Halliburton fancy exotic vehicles, airplanes, vacation houses, vacations, boats, and everything else. Oh, but wait, I owe some more tax money better take my vehicle (with 260,000 miles on it) to the bank to tap out my account. It's all good, because some seal needs it to fight some DESERT war I don't believe in, and I can start walking to jobs.


    Maybe I can borrow against my retirement plan to fill up my truck while I am out.

    Do you have a TV or Radio? He is the Presidential candidate of the Dumocratic Party! ABO=Anybody but Obama! He might not spend $20000.00 on a toilette Seat, but he will put us all in one (Toilette)! So buy the mask while you stile have a few dollars because if he gets in you'll only have "Change" in your pocket!

    Forget the @#$ seat!!!! My god! What you spend for recreation is not the measuring stick for what is used in a life-or-death situation!! Each application requires it's own evaluation.

    Do you think the cost for the production of the second 100 batch of a pill should not include the cost to develop that pill? (lets not go off on the tangent of pharmacueticals and profits) The analogy is drawn to make a point!

    Off your meds again? Can't afford to fill the script? A single payer national health care system can help you, really it can.
