Mankind is Lacking in the Forward Progression of Innovation - Not Impressed

Every day we read about new discoveries and yet mankind is far behind where he should be. If we went from the first aircraft to putting a man on the moon in 70 years, what on God's green Earth has been going on for the last 35 years? Well, not enough and my question is what happened to everyone? Why did they quit, did everyone with any strength of character willing to battle and brave the future just give up?

In consideration of this dilemma it appears to me that the overwhelming bureaucracy has stifled innovation, entrepreneurship and the competitive spirit to go beyond. Thus the lack of forward progression of the human race and in the United States of America has greatly suffered. Why, have we allowed this to happen to us such a nation with such great promise?

Personally, I feel that mankind is lacking in their forward progression and it is evident by the slow innovation progress. Yes some things are coming along fine and yet, I am not impressed, as every where I turn I see barriers which slow the progress, with no rhyme or reason; just bureaucracy. We need the cowboys back and the entrepreneurs and we need to set them free from the over regulation.

We need more people who are not afraid of getting sued if something goes wrong, willing to take the risks and do whatever it takes to succeed at whatever they choose. If we can free-up the thinkers, inventors, entrepreneurs and innovators, we can get back on track, but either way we have a lot of catching up to do.
