Romney vs. Paul
"Everybody's making a big deal about the number of cars Mitt Romney has, but nobody says a word about how many mules Ron Paul owns." -- Andy Richter

Fraud at the Highest Levels
“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies in the heart of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague…” ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero, speech to the Roman Senate.

Sugar Water, Maybe Not
This blog post is in response to this article on Tech Crunch.
While I agree that maybe this generation is not as great as the generation that put men on the moon, we should step back and look at all the world has today.
Genetic engineering, space telescopes, quantum mechanics, a private space industry, more media available today than ever before, the world wide web, inexpensive, but powerful computing power, networks that allow people to share their lives with anyone just about anywhere, and the ability to express oneself to a world wide audience without the approval of a network executive.
All in all, I would say that a lot has been accomplished. Hopefully, tomorrow will be even greater.
