Something Else

"I am the AUTHOR. I OUTRANK you." -- Franz Liebkind
Jul 19 '12
If this country is to continue leading the world both economically and technologically, then someone has to be willing to spend money on silly risks. Someone has to fund a production line for the integrated circuit computers that T.I. can’t see a use for. Someone has to send rockets into space for no other reason than because we can, and because we should see what happens after that. It’s the American way.
