I find myself often perplexed with the idea that commercial opportunities are responsible for both the dissemination of technological improvements, as well as the overall suppression of technology.

And I am a little disappointed that government actually supports the latter with force, and the former only with "politics."

Well we can't depend on any government to spend taxpayer money on human advancement when wars continue to be waged.

There is hope, though, as seen with the recent moon landing by a private company MI, whose main customer is NASA. What's that saying? "Build it and government will come?"
