The ultimate military defense (the atom bomb) wasn't created by a private company.
Chances are, the company you work for, or some of the people that work there wouldn't exist without some form of government service helping them achieve their present position. Never mind just the atom bomb; but airlines, railroads, highways, utilities, financial institutions, medicines, the Internet, could not exist without government investment and oversight. Imagine no FAA (Federal Aviation Administration)? It's simple... simply ridiculous that is. The ideology of rugged personal independence and responsibility is largely nonfactual. If it is true, then you as a conservative should consider becoming a Mennonite or Amish, because I have more respect for them than I ever will for you. They are insufferable bores and need to stop flying, driving, using medicine, computers, nuclear power, television and definitely need to get off the Internet and go back to the simple non-technological life they espouse for everyone but themselves. There is zero chance that a Sarah Palin could run the Continental United States in how Alaska is run (btw, a government bought and subsidized property...hell even the one road that goes there was built by government). These ideologies are just ridiculous, full of errors, hypocrites and insufferably outdated. The problem with ideologies is; while you might get a particular issue in your favor, you buy the whole ideology, and should expect more than 1 issue to go against you. We the people really do need a honest reassessment in the political structure and the entire system of business and how things and people are evaluated. The future won't wait. Going backwards in time is not a solution to future problems. Just as in theoretical physics; backwards time travel is an impossibility, you can only move ahead in time. The only question that remains is; do you want to progress, or digress as you move forward in time? -- Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
