Missile Defense

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?

Just how many Forums around the world is this Showalter holding hostage...? there could be dozens...so far only two have been found, but if there's two there's more....he's a good little propagandist for his "cause"....insinuating himself into various public Fora...

And thus the native hue of resolution Is sicklied o'er with this pale cantstabb of thought, And enterprises of dots and check and moment with this regard their currents turn awry, and lose the name of action. And then to ask: Whether 't is nobler in the mind to suffer the ICBM's and mini-nukes of outrageous boredoms or to take up explosive DU proximity Interceptors against a sea of fools and by opposing enlighten them? For who would bear the whips and scorns of time, the oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely, the pangs of disprized love, the forum mods delay, The insolence of usurp'd office, and the spurns that patient merit of the unworthy takes, when he himself might his quietus make with a bare bodkin?

Incredibly, this guy Showalter may actually be a Professor, after a little Googling around....if I'm right, I feel very sorry for his students....

Superficially, it is easy to see what is happening here. rshow55, mentally ill, believes he is engaging in a serious National-Security dialogue with Very Important Persons through this Forum. Such symtoms are easily identifiable traits of mental illness, especially grandiosely delusional behaviour...it is not the business of the New York Times to provide Webspace for ill, delusional persons....[emphasis, mine].

But he has been asked -- ordained -- by a former president and CIA director and others -- to 'come through' NYT, and obviously NYT HAD to oblige.

The guy had made "promises" to these people and we don't him to do anything to see him go back/break his "promises," do we ? Even though, he now admits he has already broken one of his "promises" by divulging his connection to them. He's waiting for CIA and NSC to release him from his "house arrest." Or, discuss this openly in public [with a reliable third party present].

Did you read Nassar's book on 'NASH' or seen the movie ? Check Page # ---. And stay tuned, or read along.

Cantabb....check out this...rshow55 is at the University of Wisconsin, I'm sure of it....a math Profeesor, or was in the past...I think I'll email some of his stuff to the Admin. of the University of Wisconsin, and see what they make of it...

The 'Post' is mightier than the missile.

and

The Schoolyard is above the barnyard of the beholder.

Post something on Topic and show us that you are as good as you THINK you are.

"Post something on Topic"

rather than enabling the destructive "work" of showalter, why don't you ask rshow55 this question...?
