Where are the moon bases, the commercial space shuttle and moon transportation? Where are the large flat panel video phones? Where is the international space station with hotels and restaurants? Where are the personal flat panel tablet television displays the size of a piece of paper? Where are the computers that think like humans? What do we have instead? SUV's, flat panel televisions of crap, mega malls, mega churches, telephones in our pocket that work poorly, invasion and occupation, poor employment, low national esteem and no international respect.

Our dreams were killed. They were killed just like the progressives were in the 60's by the conservative movement. A movement that culminated and ended in the rise of George W. Bush. The will of the American government was forced into the propagation and proliferation of the military industrial complex and the exploitation of oil and the american consumer.

We could of had many advances made in the human condition as Clarke and Kubrick envisioned at the time. But that vision was changed, the money and effort went into war, oil and individual profit.

We left behind a dream, somewhere in the jungles of SE Asia, the oil fields, shopping malls and the deserts of the middle east. Now we have this bitter divided county trying to heal itself and find direction.
