I would not bet against the potential of 21st Century Medicine or the
Prometheus Project.  I have already said I will support the Prometheus
Project when it gets closer to being finalized.  I am just waiting to see
what the maximum contribution I will be able to make.  (I hope to come in
around   $10,000 to $20,000 per year.  My problem is that my assets are not
liquid - real estate - and I don't know what my cash position will be when
the project is ready to be funded).

I have visited the labs at 21st Century Medicine and was very impressed with
the important work that is going on there RIGHT NOW.

I also support what Saul said the other day, that we should spend more time
*doing* things to improve our odds, rather than spend a lot of time trying
to figuring them out.
