Stadium mania is producing illusion of forward movement
The reality is this: States like New York, Massachusetts, North Carolina and California are literally "pulling away from the gate" and investing aggressively in emerging fields such as nanotechnology, biotechnology, alternative energies, the life sciences and, most importantly, science and technology education. The question we in Minnesota must ask ourselves is whether we are content to wait at the gate for the privilege of giving a free ride to few wealthy first-class passengers who will take us nowhere, or whether we want to get serious about catching a flight to the future.
