Current jet aircraft, military & commercial, can now fly no faster than they did 35 years ago. The problem is that we, in the US, spend all of our time and political energy bitching about stupid shit like abortion, stem cell research, prayer in schools and "tax and spend Democrats" vs. "borrow and spend Republicans". The fact is that the EU and Japan (and soon China) are going to leave our uneducated, lazy, nit-picking, politically correct, sorry asses eating technological dust.
