You Should Have Known Better

It's one thing to urge people to be strong, and to pursue great things. But, it's quite another to encourage those who view these things as the province of governments who measure national greatness by how much of other people's money they commit to projects.

If you meant limited governmental response and great private responses, you should have said so. I know you are somewhat libertarian, but I take your messages like the prior one, and the encouragement of space exploration (for example) as appeals to use the government to provide more of these "public goods".

It never turns out as nicely as it sounds in speeches.
