WOW! That is truly amazing in terms of how you look at things!!!

Clearly you are simply discarding the fact that the debt-based socio-economic system is broken and it cannot continue to scale as is in the 21st century! Due to the state of affairs in the debt system, no 'capitalist' wants to pays for research that does not show immediate (short term) results...

Note that the common reality debt system operates on a Quarter to Quarter basis and with the Internet and virtual reality now it is moving towards a month to month basis, going into a week to week basis and then daily basis with all these day traders and on-line brokers...

Now that is a simple snap shot of the common reality that is leading our present socio-economic system vs. your make believe position...

I am sorry, but you are the one here who seems to be out of tune with "reality"!!!
In most democratic systems the masses still vote and therefore help determine the result of many things...

..or maybe you prefer a dictattorship with a mad scientist like Dr.No (007) or Dr.Evil (Austin Powers) running the whole thing!!!

Thanks, but I just had a nice chicken salad...
