    Capitalism?
    Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

    Tangential but interesting...

    One of NASA's positive spin offs, was the construction of huge amounts or liquid oxygen infrastructure around the country. NASA used so much of it during Apollo that it became a widespread commodity and cheap enough for hospitals and industry to start using in a big way.
