"And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man." -- JFK Inaugural, 1961
"Extremism in the defense of liberty is not a vice." -- Barry Goldwater, 1964 GOP Nomination acceptance speech (not George W. Bush 40 years later...)

Like lasers. I remember way back to when they were invented. The focus of the stories was that they'd be the new Buck Roger's deathrays. No one guessed they'd be turned into supermarket scannners and would be used for eye surgery.

There is a pretty good science history book on the inventor of the laser. He had a huge battle to defend his patent but won in the end. Was a grad student going against a Nobel prize winner. But he won in the end. Lived in Brecekeniringde when I was out ther.

“In a democracy, I realize you don’t need to talk to the top leader to know how the country feels. When I go to a dictatorship, I only have to talk to one person and that’s the dictator, because he speaks for all the people.” - Jimmy Carter

Who's Moi?
Yup, ChemE
I use to work in aseptic manufacturing; clean room technology, cleaning validation, etc. for Alza Pharmaceuticals, a drug delivery company, in Mountain View. They got bought out by Johnson and Johnson. I left them when they let Che go ... Well, like 2 years later.
Now I work for Meridian Bioscience (NASDAQ: VIVO) here in Cincinnati. We make Medical Diagnostic products; devices that detect if you have a certain condition/disease. I do validations here, which is really just a lot of busy work, hence my posting rate during the days. I'm one of 4 engineers in the company. We pretty much handle any engineering need that may arise from expiration dating to process improvements and development work to trouble shooting.
