I'd have to say that private invention is very moral whereas govt
funded research tends to be focused on killing things.

Whoa. What about Tang?
Surely you know about Tang.

Tried it once or twice 40 years ago. I have no desire to ever try it
again.

I thought it was terrible too. Kool-Ade did it better.

Bug juice.

I didn't know they had bugs on targets cruising at 16 knots.

The automatic reaper invented by McKormick greatly increased the
yields from farms.

Of course it makes the grain grow better, just knowing what lies

The point is that it is one thing to be "just wrong" and another to be
as willfully ignorant as HK is. Every day you should wake up and
thank God for producing the "greedy capitalists" who have made your
life possible.

Bull****. Capitalism has its place, but the sort of "greedy capitalism"
since the 1980s does not. I'm as much for businesses making reasonable
profits as anyone else, but rapacious capitalism? No. That's the sort of
capitalism that brings us the Love Canal, Enron, George W. Bush, the
failure of our economic system, et cetera.

Hey...shouldn't you be out building or repairing something else that
will fall apart under you? Or planning to cross the Gulf of Mexico on a
surfboard you built from leftover orange crates with a sail made of
recycled green trashbags? :)

Amazing. An alleged mechanical engineer that insults anyone who likes
to, and takes pride in making things, fixing things, etc. Gee he's the
only alleged engineer that I know that won't touch anything
mechanical.....!!!

Yes, I am supposed to be sailing across the Gulf right now. I told my
22 yr old daughter that I'd sail with her and her bf down to Ft Myers
so they could take my sailboat across Okeechobee and then to the
bahamas. Unfortunately, I am spending the week repairing 29 year old
electron microscopes because I cannot afford to buy new ones.
Consider that a new one would probably cost a min of $250,000 and I
bought these for the cost of shipping ($2200) and repaired them for
nearly nothing, I am ahead. B'leve it or not, I got em on E-bay.
They both worked well for the past 3 years too.

Gee, if I had a physician that cut corners the way you do...I'd find
another physician. "Yes, we rebuilt that lab equipment that we bought on
ebay from a shut-down Mcdonalds...that sterilizer? Used to be a deep
fryer."

Well Duh, but I am not a physician,I am an inventor. As soon as I
show that something works I license it to a bigger company who does a
good job of making it really work well.
