Steel, aluminum, engineers, and the list goes on. Nothing is quite as easy as it 'used to be.' And that's why I think we need more vision. <BR/><BR/>Where are those Sci-fi writers like Phillip Jose Farmer and the Buck Rogers creators who actually had some science based good ideas? :) <BR/><BR/>DawnDawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18419344655830579965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-74000069263980746.post-25771584142041597042009-01-15T01:25:00.000-05:002009-01-15T01:25:00.000-05:00Excellent observations, Dawn.

Apparently it ain't. Apparently we refuse to learn -- an example, some of the banks receiving the bailout money cannot account for how it will be used. Send Derrol to DC or NYC!
