No conditional bureaucracy can reply to this statement,
because no conditional bureaucracy WAS right for the polarized faction that this nation has become: One faction expects everything to be given to them by the State, and the second one says that the perception of America worldwide is that we've just shot ourselves in the foot moneywise. Who's right? (The problem is both factions are only partly right). The first faction is right in the sense that the types of industries that we've exported worldwide should no longer be competitive, because not only has the moderni- zation of skills and trades necessary to make these con- structions quickly become available, but the market has become so saturated with eligible prospects that there are large groups of unemployed but skilled and talented people available. For this reason, and this reason primarily, the construction market should no longer be as competitive as it was, but should also be marshalled in the direction of job retraining for more complex projects. So what ARE some of these newer projects? The identification of transferable skill sets within and between industries related to the automotive, mass transit, and transportation infrastructure have all been affected. Think of the concrete-and-mortar economies of of these "internationalist" mass transit technologies, as well as infrastructures and commercialism, which must revalidate their own existence by retrenching their effort abroad in order to ward off long-term substitution of their outdated technology, when it should be, more realistically, a *new world free market economy*. We should be instinctively expecting that a more advanced technology (i.e., 'yankee ingenuity') has arrived with great enthusiasm - without these so-called "burdens" on society that we see with "pork barrel projects" and the like. Yeah, we are helping third world countries establish them- selves colonially, but at the same time, we are inadver- tantly "overbureaucratizing" with the weight falling on private enterprise: i.e., the lowering of standards through the awarding of contracts to please peers, with the strain of excitement going into getting the next grant ("conditional" NOW and from mostly the state and military industrial complex - something that Eisenhower continued to warn us about) and worrying about the 'right' personnel (multi-ethnic), not to mention the mire of standards, eligibility requirements, human rights waivers, tort law through conflict of interest (between private industry and the bureaucracy), invasion of privacy (stolen patented technology), and lately a huge money grab for more pork barrel supply of federal reserve notes! It all seems so senseless in contrast to what a truly modernistic society, sort of one like the up-and-coming Malaysian empire, who at last count, was spurning Wall Street with CIMB's IPOs" - CIMB = Commerce International Merchant Bankers Group, Malaysia's largest investment bank consisting of Islamic bonds and financial services, representing a huge growth in electronics industries. So where does that leave the U.S.? Did anyone mention 'energy puppet'? In contrast to the rest of the world, that's just a little to 'colonial' for yankee ingenuity to stay alive. We must now ask ourselves - Where are we going as a nation with all this energy? Recognizing first, expandability, then within that expandibility, an expanded airspace to include the first 20 miles altitude of airspace. Given the technology that exists today with flight con- trollers, there could be continuous monitoring of all air traffic within a 100 mile radius of metropolitan areas, with each passenger vehicle having its own unique RF tag for input to the flight controller. Any non-RF tagged vehicle would be flagged and tracked via local radar, and intercepted by the local authorities. This would eliminate all contemporary concrete and highway infra- structure, so that the money could be re-ear-marked for earth-to-orbit technologies. After all, isn't the planet becoming incapable of simul- taneously supporting all of humanity with the old type of "oil modernization' indefinitely? Yes, there are other "earths" out there. Just look at all the G2V spectral class stars in the galaxy and you'll get a pretty good idea that there is a good possibility that within every 70 parsec radius from our own sun, there may be planets similar to our own. (This study was done by the British Interplanetary Society back around 1976). Anyone who has been keeping up with propulsion technology can see that we now have the capability for FTL transportation. It's the dumbing down technologies that hinder the spirit of entrepreneurialism in this area, and lately, there's been a lot of that going on. American |
