My point is how sad it is to see us then squander it all with such poor political leadership and insane financial mismanagement. I see a lot of people that are considered paupers or homeless having access to technology and benefits the richest kings just 100 years ago could not even DREAM of - so what specifically do you think we should channel the collective time and attention of americans into if not pursuits like GOOG? Through globalization efforts in the past few decades america and other western countries has sent capitalism far and wide and according to even naysayers like el mat and real mulan - their countries have benefitted tremendously. I see a very near future where every person on the planet has virtually free access to the greatest repository of knowledge ever to exist - will they take this and make the world better - or will they take this knowledge and make nukes and blow up the whole world - I saw this movie once with that comedian from the naked gun - it was called FORBIDDEN PLANET - you should check it out. I don't know Gst - at the local salvation army the bums are eating pretty good and having a rocking good time at the library watching Jon Stewart clips on the internet - its hard for me to look at them and say - how sad - that poor guy - sitting around watching comedy central all day - boo hoo. If only he could be rich like the 1890 king of england - yah right. What do you see as the fundamentals things we have lost that greatly trump all the things we have gained? I don't see it - I see more research into life extension. science.slashdot.org And to be honest I don't think a credit crunch or a housing collapse is going to bring this research to a grinding halt - do you think it will?
