kontiki I'm an engineer too Bob. Taxpayers have spent many kontiki millions for special development projects over the kontiki years. What I would find interesting is to know if any of kontiki them ever made a dime out of their "investment". You aren't much of an engineer if you don't know the origin of the Internet, just one example to your implied question above. kontiki When you have to convince a group of private investers to kontiki put up a lot of money for R&D of a potential new product kontiki you have to do a lot of homewrok to convince them that kontiki what you are doing will end up a viable product. And you don't understand the origins of engineering either. You think private is going to invest in fundamental science discovery? Private investment and companies have a place. Government has a place. What doesn't have a place in an industrial, or post-industrial, democratic society is leaders ignorant of the scientific process, unable and unwilling to try to understand other opinions, and examine--or even acknowledge--that other countries are doing well for their people without all the dogmatism and blind faith crap. But that requires using the frontal cortex, an energy-intensive activity, and strange to the back-slapping, glad-handing bozos so often running things now. -- If you are a happy employee does that make you 'gruntled' ? - Jack Handey |
