		<description>This is nonsensical.  America was maneuvered into this &#039;new&#039; dark-age by.. &#039;special interests&#039;..  (clip)

Enjoy your..  DARK-AGE...!!!

&lt;strong&gt;Hi Russ,

I don&#039;t know anyone who&#039;s enjoyed being trapped in LEO for the last 40 years...!

Macroeconomic data and historical trends indicate clearly that -- over at least the last 200+ years -- transformative pulses in exploration and technology occur roughly every 55 to 60 years and are correlated with a long business cycle discovered (and powerfully documented) in 1989.

The &quot;transformative pulses&quot; (i.e., Maslow Windows) appear to be highly fractal critical states where both good things (e.g., Apollo, Peace Corps) and bad things (e.g., Vietnam War) can materialize and dissipate with surprising speed.

Short term perspectives that the media and some others specialize in often make it look like some &quot;special interest&quot; or other ad hoc influence is driving events, but, over the last 200+ years, that&#039;s not usually the case.

Best regards,
Bruce&lt;/strong&gt;</description>
