Ignorance or Intent?

Oh, and Obobo was worng about who is responsible for The Internet, too.

Sure, that could be just ignorance and gross incompetence. But it might be intent.

You decide.

    Thanx dear, for allowing a choice. I choose “brainwashed intent” versus “might be intent”. OBoBo, having a titanium bar between his ears to prevent the vacuum pressure from slamming them together—-is the classic proletariat that Lenin targeted. Believing every fucking slogan that his commie pals fed him.

    Ignorance, certainly: I was involved in computer data transfers from the late 1960s thru the late 1990s and have usually accepted the idea that DARPA brought the threads together, if only to force standardisation* a bit sooner,

    Incompetence, very probably. Even calling one of the biggest current messes “Obamacare” is giving too much credit – all he did was tell the few top legislators of his party that he would sign whatever they could get passed.

    Intent, inadvertent given the above two. That is, about who/what “created” the Internet – that there would have been an intent to take credit regardless is certain.

    Too-early standardisation can be bad, too. Rome established a “standard” width for roads, which met the needs of the time – and would be a disaster today.

    I’ll take “fucking ignorant” for $200 Claire. Can we do a daily double for “blinkered ideologue” too?
    It’s pretty obvious he’s looking through the wrong end of the binoculars, and the view is mighty narrow and distant.

    And there’s a story about why the standard railroad gauge is 58″, relating to the width of two horses asses, or something, dating back to the Roman roads.

    And why does everybody but England drive on the right?

    They drive on the left, with right hand drive cars, just to confuse us Yanks.

    They even drink their beer warm. (if you can call that crud beer)
