It’s so easy to be upset at all the bad news today. As a
conservative, I’m especially concerned about where our country is going. But a
piece in today’s newspaper reminded me that there are some good things going on
too.
For one thing, the U.S. is in the midst of an energy
surge. Due to fracking and tremendous supplies of oil shale, we are the world’s
largest producer of natural gas. We may become the world’s biggest supplier of
crude oil—more reserves than Saudi
Arabia . Wow! Of course, the catch is that
Obama and his leftist friends don’t want us to use oil products, so we’ll see
if we are allowed to develop this important energy.
Secondly, we have new manufacturing. Thanks to robotics and
3-D printing, we can change the way we make products.
Genetics and stem-cell technology are a third area of good
news. We will develop better agriculture and pharmaceuticals. I’m especially
happy that stem cells have a far great potential coming from adult cells than
from harvesting them from embryos.
One area we are doing well in is puzzling to me. It has to do
with IT and cloud computing. I’m a technological dinosaur, so I don’t really
understand how all this works. I’m just happy that we seem to be doing well
here.
So, cheer up, my friends. Things can be better in our
country. But it all depends on the leadership that is willing to let us develop
unrestricted by Big Brother government types who want centralized planning.
Turn America
loose and see what happens.
