However, The analogy of making hay while the sun shines should be modified to making hay while the government shines a spot-light on the grass. <br /><br />And yes, Einstein (and other intellectual giants) did indeed part-take in the Manhattan project. They did feel awful for the death and destruction that followed later. <br /><br />But given that information is so easy to access these days (with the internet, TV and so on), ought jingoistic propaganda not be easier to see through these days? <br /><br />I find it disappointing that the smartest of the smart people in the world (professors and GS employees) have been reduced to opportunists.Raphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11749238964003017949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9286932.post-76509039385880262352009-08-06T09:38:01.687-05:002009-08-06T09:38:01.687-05:00Even Einstein(From germany) worked on the Manhatta...Even Einstein(From germany) worked on the Manhattan Project. Maybe you end up being a Roman when you live in Rome long enough(Rome is not what it used to be anymore)!<br /><br />About the GS employees, they are just making hay while the sun shines. Maybe there is a need to think from their perspective. They might want to make quick money to clear their MBA education loans. Or they might be biding their time at office to earn enough money to start their own business.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
