We can take a small idea formed by a college dropout (read amatuer), tinkering in his garage with a buddy and change how the whole world lives and works!! Yeah Bill Gates! Here in free thinking America, even a strange guy like him(some say he has a high funtioning form of autism, or at the very least terrible social skills) can use his passion, to create something amazing, a rare thing in this world! Ya, I know I sound VERY patriotic, ironically, I am a Canadian living in the U.S. on a visa (of course Canada is in America, we are Americans too.) I feel especially grateful for America right now, because of a great book I just read. "Wild Swans" by Jung Chang. It's an autobiographical story about three generations of women in one family, living through the great political changes in China from the warlord period in the 1800's thru Mao's cultural revolution. The writer grew up under Mao's rule. Talk about not being able to sneeze without permission and repressed inovation!!! Boy It makes you appretiate freedoms you weren't even aware you had! I reccomend the book highly. It also makes you sad because China had a rich tradition of fabulous inventions. Well, they are making a come back, may the wind be at their backs!
