Fair enough. I did actually draw it from the "when I was a young lad..." (misquoted) sounds American, and Australian apparently. My next assumption is that you still have not read the article.
Since you are around, what is a Seppo?
Nevermind
seppo
Slang for Americans - as septic tank rhymes with yank, but Americans are also full of shit like septic tanks
Nice
And here I thought that Ostriches came from Africa
Your post prompted me to RTFA, at which point I came to the conclusion that you haven't.
To answer your post directly, the more civil/social capital (that the article says is increased by video games) a society has, the less power the government has over them. Definitely one of the founding principles of the US.
On the other hand, being an older person (I assume American), I imagine that you would desire a less educated/civic/political youth, so that the burgeoning retiring population will be able to control legislation to a greater extent than they already do. I congratulate you on your use of rhetorical propaganda to somehow get modded +1.
And I think your are missing the fact that a large amount of the mass on the container would be transferred to the ISS.
The hook and line idea would require the two have the two objects connected and rotating around some point on the wire, as an external center of gravity (two masses combined). You would be forced to use centripetal force (Obligatory) to "slingshot" the ISS back towards the moon.
Picture two water balloons attached by a string/straw. One empties into the other and as it does, it has less of an effect on the now much more massive other balloon. The result is a big heavy balloon (the ISS), which incidentally is now spinning very fast (around and internal center of gravity), and a negligible mass which, when released, would shoot away from the heavy balloon with little effect on its velocity.
I could possibly work if identical masses were transferred on and off of the ISS, but I would still imagine that the G's involved in the spinning would exceed the ISS design specifications.
All this said, kudos on truly thinking out of the box.
I would also argue that Apple provides better service (than PC makers), in general, and better community support (except maybe linux). That has to be worth something.
This may be a start to the explanation you are looking for:

The early precursors for life were not made by chance, but as a part of the chemical development of Earth. It was not a matter or if, but when. The pieces were all here.
which would be a much needed motivation to get the US to start seriously looking at space travel again. Or maybe China.
The stage may be set for another country to take the lead in space exploration. Not that I think it will be Russia, but the US only has the lead right now. Other countries are gaining quickly.

Those were around before video games.

Ha!
I finished the Maurrian...?
Don't remember the name but it was pretty cool. Good writing
I think an Escape Velocity MMO would be cool. Easy to do...
Nevermind
I think the real flaw is that I'm not a cat...
I was 15. And back then they called it the Spice Channel...
Keep it away from the Silver Iodide
Well I run all of these!

Summer months in the Desert: Closing drapes helps keep heat out, solar technology helps to power the Air Conditioner.
Non-summer months everywhere else: Close the curtains to power the lights that you need because the curtains are closed.

I would imagine (though too lazy to find a source), that they may be trying to reduce their dependency on foreign food?
