Well, although I realize that the U.S. has done some pretty pathetic things in
the past with the trust given to it by its citizens, there are not many (if
any) organizations that I would trust with true nanotech other than the U.S.,
except for Drexler and the Foresight Institute.

On one hand, the US will be a heck of a lot less naive when somebody
finally wakes up and realizes they have the power to take over the
world. On the other hand, Zyvex, faced with the actuality, might lose
the blinders.
