 Science
Technology has always found its greatest consumer in a
nation's war and defense efforts. Since the last attempts at a
"Star Wars" defense system, has technology changed
considerably enough to make the latest Missile Defense
initiatives more successful? Can such an application of
science be successful? Is a militarized space inevitable,
necessary or impossible?

from the script of Casablanca http://6nescripts.free.fr/Casablanca.pdf
p. 92
Rick comes quickly up to Renault. Rick: How
can you close me up. On what grounds? Renault: I am shocked,
shocked to find that gambling is going on here! This display
of nerve leaves Rick at a loss.
SO ? Take it to Movie Reviews.
This thread has gone on a long time - http://www.mrshowalter.net/Sequential.htm
Has also been abused for a long time. So ?
That's NO reason to keep on doing the same over and over
{"loop test"]. Some things out-live their usefulness, even if
they had a little. And, demand an action.
- and usages cannot be accidental.
What's with the "usages" ? You're talking in innuendo-laden
codes like lchic , are you, in which case every one
should be on the same page ?
In Casablanca - it isn't made clear whether
gambling is in violation of some ordinance. But it is clear
that, de facto - it has gone on a long time.
SO ? What's THIS gotta do with MD ?

I think this MD Forum has been going on by default.
Having far outlived what little usefulness it may once have
had.
The abuse has been clear for long, but I won't hold
my breath on NYT doing anything anytime soon. They may still
have not been able to disentangle themselves from the mess
they had and its after-shocks.

The words
'Established since (Date)'
are indicative of entities
'that have gone on for a long time'
and this in turn can be used, in a positive way, by
Marketers, as a valued selling point
It ain't what you say --- it's the way that you say it!
-----------
MD - has it been sold to us, or hyped on us?
Less SWIRL --- More SPIN?

Primitive cultures and Ancient-Man envisioned gods and
spirits within their environs.
The horsemen of Mongolia threw god skywards - always
watching over as they pillaged on.
Many cultures and religions have some concept of 'god' ...
and god is always 'on their side'.
Raises the question, regarding the mindful-swirl of
god-language, what is 'god' ... a fellow warrior, a leader, a
teacher, an example setter, an agent of control, a health and
safety officer for the home team, a model to aspire to ....
are the images of 'god' by persons of varied belief systems,
the one image, or disparate and difinitive, and how do they
relate military weapons to 'god' .... has God's-Man the Pope
had his last words on Peace and War yet?

Can we do a better job of finding
truth? YES. Click "rshow55" for some things Lchic and I have
done and worked for on this thread.
I think Lchic is a treasure - a world asset.
She makes the world both more beautiful, and clearer.
We're facing some clear problems - and some were discussed
in the Week in Review today.
