I have another related question. Does Mr. Flannery not think there is a danger in what he is doing in that his organisation and we, as a society, could become dependent on these people and they would have us, to a certain extent, over a barrel in that if we were to threaten to do other things on the tax front or on the political front that they do not like, they could threaten to withdraw the philanthropy they would be extending to us?
