I’ve never understood, or accepted, why “Government” needs to take the lead in any kind of R&D work with one notable exception: the Constitutional mandate that one of the Federal Government’s mandates is the defense of the country.
This is GREAT – and exactly why Government, especially local Government, shouldn’t believe that simply because of their shining ability to get at least one more vote than the other guy that they are now economic geniuses. They’re not and I now hope that all their constituent taxpayers pull their electoral plugs before Mayor Engler …
I have so many “Parts” that I’ve started and never got back to finish them up (too many Shiny (an unShiny) Objects. I think I’m going to do a rolling project, go back and finish them up; this is one of them. In Part 1, I started to really lay into the Democrats who want …
