"This is the US government we're talking about, so I bet they will never get far"

Oh? You mean the US government that was the first to create nuclear weapons and land men on the moon?



The US government also envisioned and funded the development of computer networking (though the actual work was done by companies), so it's ironic for someone to imply the government can't innovate on an internet forum.

I say this as someone who's basically libertarian.
