Reply #29: Negative minds reduce the potential of us all

[txlibdem]

I'm sorry that you are so negative of every new thing: "Schemes like this." Where is your imagination? Would we have gone to the moon had you been President back then??? Would we have built the interstate highway system (which was at the time a marvel of the world) had you been in charge back then???

I just can't imagine being inside your head; I don't think I could survive it. I need to be positive about the future, about Humankind (I believe that 98% of people are basically good and want to do good things). And I need to be positive about our potential to solve these terrible global problems that we (globally) have caused.

The reason I don't answer the corrosion question is that there have been no experiments conducted to find the correct material to build these things with. Those who say it should be built in shipyards may turn out to be correct. I prefer to think that human ingenuity will conquer the problems that face us, including this one.

Also, I just don't see the difference between "land based concrete" and marine grade concrete... which is used every day, poured under water and it sets so quickly that solid structures can be built with it. What is the difference??? Please explain it to me.
