Google Tech Talks December, 18 2007 How Stanford the CIA/NSA Built the Valley We Know Today How much does an average Googler know about the history of the place he works in? Silicon Valley. Come and test your knowledge. I have seen this talk and I assure you - even seasoned Silicon Valley veterans will find this story interesting. Silicon Valley entrepreneur Steve Blank will talk about how World War II set the stage for the creation and explosive growth of Silicon Valley, and the role of Frederick Terman and Stanford in working with government agencies (including the CIA and the National Security Agency) to set up companies in this area that sparked the creation of hundreds of other enterprises. Speaker: Steve Blank Steve Blank spent nearly 30 years as founder and executive of high tech companies in Silicon Valley, most recently the enterprise software firm E.piphany. He has been involved in or co-founded eight Silicon Valley startups, ranging from semiconductors to video games, and personal computers to supercomputers. He teaches entrepreneurship at U.C. Berkeley's Haas School of Business, Columbia University and Stanford's Graduate School of Engineering.

Umm.. I don't think you know what fascism is. You described a characteristic of fascism, but also a characteristic of communism, socialism, and "mixed-economy-ism." It's not the defining characteristic of fascism.

Why write in an anti-american kook like Ron Paul? I'd prefer a candidate who supported the founding fathers, not some kook trapped in libertarian fantasy-land.

Buy/read THE REVOLUTION by Ron Paul who still, by the way, is still 'in' the race. Go ahead... write him in.
