Thank you very much for the compliment. You guys from England are OK in my book also!
Ever since the country was founded, it was built on the backs of people looking for a better way, and that's hard work. Technical advances have come as the result of necessity and the desire to be better and have a better way of life. President Kennedy, in his speech anouncing our intensions of walking on the moon, said something to the effect, "We do these things and others not because they are easy, but because they are hard." In my opinion there are few better feelings one can have than the feeling you get when you achieve something that you have been working on, no matter what it is. And we even enjoy the pain of our mistakes and use them to better ourselves. This country, and the globe, is in a strange position right now, very similar to the time period of 1939 to 1949. In 1939, our front line fighters were fabric covered and wire braced piston engine biplanes. By 1949, the jet age was firmly in place and we had broken the sound barrier, and rockets were reaching for space. All that in 10 short years. Lots of advancement in a very short amount of time. It is now the middle of 2013. Stop and think of something that was new on the scene in 2003 that you can't find anymore because it is obsolite. Think about what cell phones were like, as an example. Technology changing so fast that people can't establish businesses to take advantage of it. I feel that is one reason the economy is so slow to recover. No new jobs because we don't know what we need to make yet! But we will strive to carry on and try, because that is what it takes to survive. We have to do it. There is NO ONE in Washington D.C. that has the answer.
Type at you later,
