Mark,
Not to get too political on this thread, but I couldn't resist your comment -
"...before Wtc this country was divided because of the near constitutional crisis and election results. and now i think we are much stronger after WTc "
By coincidence, the attack occurred one week before the NYT, WashPost and LATimes were to release their results of the Florida vote...
Now, they have shelved those results.
I don't think people trust the gov't in the least, but they want to get prosperity rolling again, to hell with the crooks wherever & whoever they are.
Maybe some day we'll have stock-market type transparency in gov't at all levels and accountability of every vote, dollar domestic/foreign, personnel, project, on web pages.
Give it another few years when the old cold warriors have passed from the scene, and enough SI readers demand it... Gov't secrecy is the real enemy. A good read is Bamford's "Body of Secrets"
Then we'll have real prosperity & security, both.
Meanwhile, have you heard anything about the $1/2 Trillion in "infrastructure hardening"? It's a loose-talk number I'm trying to pin down further, wrt tech vs non-tech. |
