| Is it possible to create strong local economies in the | | | | Georgia Tech, Florida Tech, Las Vegas, etc. |
| United States where people think for a living rather | | | | They attempt to steal our innovations and research as |
| than manufacture, as we know that we cannot | | | | fast as we produce it. No they cannot get it all, we |
| compete in World Markets for labor when other | | | | produce it too fast. Nevertheless, if someone steals |
| nations are paying $1.50 per day. Even modern | | | | your innovations and has the capability or |
| robotics must come down quite a ways until that is | | | | manufacturing ability to make it and bring it to market |
| feasible. Then there is another question we took up | | | | fast, why would they pay you for it, when they get it |
| recently in the Online Think Tank; Creating a | | | | for free? |
| Knowledge Society in the Midst of Spies. | | | | Unless you can produce it super fast and it simply |
| The loss to our economy in the US is no less than | | | | makes sense to hire you as a consultant? So, getting |
| $500 Billion per year in intellectual piracy and it is | | | | the human minds of your nation to that level is not |
| growing. You see, I am not critical of the concept of | | | | going to be easy. It is possible, I think that fast and |
| the knowledge society. But I wanted to make a point | | | | constantly create, but how many people really do |
| about an observation. In the United States we have | | | | that? And can you train someone to do it. So that is |
| about 3,000 Chinese Spies that we know about and | | | | merely a thought, not critique. I hope you might use this |
| they hang around Silicon Valley, DC, Boston, Dallas, | | | | knowledge to extend your own in 2007. |
