re: #236 Belafon

I always love these “not done much for the economy” comments on the internet, where nearly everything required to type and display these words on the screen was developed originally for military purposes.

I do agree with your first paragraph, and that we need to do more to lessen our dependence on oil.

“not done much” in comparison to the trillions that have been spent on defense…and we could have developed an Internet for civilian purposes just as well.
