Our genius got BIG into computers and, business of course.
Mr. Wilson and his cypherpunk friends WILL grow old and die. I suppose they'll want to be buried with their techie telephones. What do you think?
Very little of our genius is BIG into business; if employed, they are usually kept out of any major decision-making circles. Otherwise, our national debt would not be $17 Trillion; our industries would not be eating our seed corn with outsourcing, off-shoring, open borders, amnesty, affirmative action, and lopsided anti-American trade agreements.
You might say that those things are government problems and actions, but businesses lobby government, and government responds.
Corrupt idiots run the show today, just like in the previous Great Depression.
