Well, I guess then everything is hunky-dorey and we can continue our
present
course.

I nevah said that. Never will. But as long as progress and innovation
(P&I) are alive, yeah, we can "continue our present course" (whatever that
is).

The moment P&I stops, then nothing is hunky dorey and we will all die.

It's stopping. Isn't quite STOPPED, but P&I, our key to the future, is being
rapidly strangled.

. . . All that said, I think this is a glass-half-empty/half-full debate.
We're doin' all right as a nation and a world.

Fly a long way on half empty gas tanks...

According to my advanced Alabama math, you can go just as far with 'em half
full.

You get to feel more optimistic about the flight, too.

Until....WHOMP!!

Of course, you can feel better carrying a heavier load with
the tanks half empty.

Are those the ones they bribed into the USAF tanker deal even though
Airbus was cheaper? That hardly counts as innovative!
