>The Nation Needs a Shipbuilding Revolution

Somebody noticed :)

Too late now, Nixon "opened up" China and Ronald Reagan said "NO!" to the kind of prosperity that would be needed in the 21st century.

It's like political parties haven't been paying attention at all for a "little" while now.

If American voters can not get over electing media "personalities" acting as leaders, those kind of fakers are not going to be far enough in the rear-view mirror to allow pulling ahead by the 22nd century :\

We're already 1/4 of the way to 2100.

And more gloomy than ever in the 21st century so far, recovering industrial leadership just got dramatically more unlikely in the last few months :(
