-And those who do not recognize the value of human ingenuity want us to
-waste the time of the productive people by making them wait for public
-transportation, 

You mean by implementing HOV lanes on highways near cities?

-and keeping the bright from getting an education by
-putting them in classes with the mentally deficient.

Has anyone had personal experience with magnet schools? I'm curious about 
whether they provide any benefit.

-What else can one call the government blocking of
-human endeavor, including going to space?

If you're referring to the government's policy of holding people who launch
accountable for damage their spacecraft might do on the ground, I disagree.
A similar policy is applied to people in the US who want to drive automobiles
on other than private land (with the permission of the owner).
