[MD] An Inconvenient Truth

[ian glendinning]

Case, you said ....

"At some point during Apollo 13 I realized that at one point in my life time
we as a people had had the will, the skill, and the confidence to live an
impossible dream. When things went sour we used slide rules, duct tape and
team work to make thing work."

Me too. I use that "duct-tape" clip from Apollo 13 frequently in
business presentations.

"We gotta make this, fit into that, using only these."

Pragmatism. Just do it. Real life's like that.

There's more to read in your post, and it's still a Platt-free zone.
