The Important Business of …Inventing.
Nobody Wonders
The age of the drones is coming: So, exactly WHEN are we going to get air cars? Impossible you say?
Nothing short of honest politicians, is impossible–let’s think back:
A newspaper editor in 1865 told his readers, “Well-informed people know that it is impossible to transmit the voice over wires and that, were it possible to do so the thing would have no practical value.”
(So would say Obama with the ‘invention’ of Fox News, but too bad.)
On the day the Wright Brothers first took wing, newspapers refused to report the event because their editors simply could not bring themselves to believe it had happened. Basically because a famous American astronomer, Simon Newcomb, had assured the world that “No possible combination of known substances, known forms of machinery and no forms of force, can be united in a practical machine by which man shall fly long distances.”
(Proving the point that newspaper editors haven’t a clue about much of anything then, and still don’t.)
Another elite expert said, not long after that, that is was “Nothing less than feeble-mindedness to expect anything to come of the horseless carriage movement. Six years later the one-millionth Ford rolled off the assembly line.
(It’s amazing what the feeble-minded can do if you give them a chance.)
And the discoverer of the atom, Ernest Rutherford, said in 1933, that the energy in the atom’s nucleus would never be released, but nine years later: the first chain reaction.
(How about that nano-technology?)
And so, I keep hoping for air cars. Several men have invented cars that run on just the air around us…and there are already several ‘cars’ that fly like planes.
It could be a whole new world..
Nevertheless: almost all modern inventions were invented in America: where the American Dream of creating something new is what drove the genius, and freedom was its fuel.
Take away freedom of the individual. You take away inventions.
In the meantime, Nobody Suggests that it’s time to ‘invent’ a way to put politicians in jail, so we can get back to the important (And may I say…AMERICAN) business of…inventing.

About
I am a nobody. If the different classes of America were color-coded, I would be in the yucky brown, one rung up from the bottom. I grew up in Naples, Florida and live near the Mississippi River now with my husband and two dogs. I am part of the slowly disappearing middle-class. I was a musician most of my life: drummer/singer/keyboards—but I retired before the plastic surgery flu hit. I have no degrees, which could be a good thing…depending on how you view our educational system. I do have three patents…but that really doesn’t make me a somebody. The one thing that is constant in my life is my OPINIONS, which i have more than perhaps even Carl Sagan could have imagined…mostly political. (yes…my ancestors were crabby buggers)
Hopefully other nobody’s will put their opinions on my site. But, if you happen to be a somebody, you’re more than welcomed to help out.
It’s my Nobody Opinion that Nobody’s Perfect, and Nobody Cares, that Nobody Knows why Nobody Wins, and when that happens, Nobody Wonders, why Nobody Flashes, why Nobody’s Fooled, but then Nobody remembers that Nobody ALWAYS Reports the truth.
