DC is Missing for 30 Years

In the 1920s, Std Oil, GM and Firestone were sued for anti-trust violations. They bribed Los Angeles leaders and got them to remove the Red Line tracks; forever destroying right-of-way for an efficient rail line that would be employed today if it existed.

When you see the lack of renewable energy policy and cabinet members running from this current administration like they were running out of Sodom and Gomorrah -- the question should be -- why have this conference at all? The people in power do not believe in renewable energy, a functional Internet, free exchange of ideas or even global warming.

There is no leadership among top companies or government because those in charge want Oil, Gas burning cars, war and apparently global warming. Why deal with compromised officials who have often purchased their position. Name a single thing that would indicate that D.C. has any vision of the future besides global war. Remember how Reagan would never use the word, "AIDS"? This administration has trouble using the following words:

1. Internet
2. Energy efficiency
3. Energy conservation
4. Renewable resources
5. Recyclable resources
6. Universal Access (to the Internet)
7. Education
8. Literacy
9. Communication

BTW -- I don't recall this magazine ever being critical of the state and federal government's lack of industrial policies and lack of support for job-rich technology industries. What a joke ZDnet is, and the rest of the self-serving Silicon Valley pulications.
