Herbert makes the point that it's ok to solve a problem that makes them
gasp, but you still have to get the grant money.
I think that one of the problems with the entire grant system is that it
violates what some call the Law of the Farm or the Law of Sowing and
Reaping.
The Law says, "First you sow, *then* you reap."
If you go out and solve a problem that makes them gasp, you will have no
trouble attracting grant funds.
