LOL aside. Group think in action.[/quote]Since the next big pocket from Government is big business.. the quote

Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet.

could be expanded by a big company to say

Big Business research created the invention A so that all the companies could make money off the invention A and pay everyone elses salaries – aka trickle down…

Yes the gov provided the money for the research.. but I don’t think any politicians or their subordinate bureaucrat got their hands dirty on actually implementing and designing the Internet… or likewise a big business and some other big thing.

PS: Another term for “Group Think” in terms of decision making.. is “Group Grope”.. and usually results in the lowest or worst decision possible.
