"(...) Bruce Charlton, professor of Theoretical Medicine at the University of Buckingham in England, wrote that 'that landing of men on the moon and bringing them back alive was the supreme achievement of human capability, the most difficult problem ever solved by humans' (...) So what happened? According to Professor Charlton, in the 1970's 'the human spirit began to be overwhelmed by bureaucracy'. The old can-do spirit? Oh, you can try to do it, but they'll toss every obstacle in your path. Go on, give it a go: invent a new medical device, start a company, go to the airport to fly to DC and file a patent. Everything's longer, slower, more soul-crushing. And the decline in 'human capability' will only worsen in the years ahead, thanks not just to bureaucracy but insufficient cash", Mark Steyn, "After America" (páginas 30 e 31).
