 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?

SLIME SLIMING --- 'Vile or disgusting matter'
The 'Right' have been accused of resorting to the tactic of
sliming.

Gisterme asked about oscillatory solutions
in January - and I didn't get as far as I'd hoped. I'm
thinking about doing better now. The relative silence of the
board is something of a relief - it will take me a while to
digest yesterday - and to respond in ways that fredmoore ,
at least, may find constructive.
More of the same. Dismissed before.

[To wrcooper}: thanks for the post..but I
stilll think it's wrong to leave Showalter unmolested whilst
he hijacks and raves insanely....he has no right to do what
he does and be left alone for it....he should be banned
regardless for abuse of the Forum...
See my response to wrcooper, above !

rshow: "The exercise of irresponsible power
that I've been subjected to is significant - of long
standing - and much that has happened is not to the credit
of the Times.
bluestar23: Showalter now complains
frequently....what is not "to the credit of the Times" is,
of course, their refusal to ban Showalter...
Calling a spade a spade, seems to hurt even the spade.
His persecution paranoia, and his “Nash complex” [without
realizing the HUGE difference].
lchic just follows her drummer. Doesn't like to hear that
her "emperor" has no clothes [her own metaphor here, on an
unelaed matte, from way back]
Some still don't realize that "It got understood and
exposed."

Good for you. Doing anything would be doing better -
since for so long you've been doing nothing. (At least here)

You mean Showalter's stuff ? That's what we see
'dumped' on here, his/her personal "dumpster' !
What he got in return was more than he [and you, a loyal
soldier] had bargained for.
Believe it or not, you were right: "It got understood
and exposed." Sure did in a hurry [at least since Sept 17]

Cantabb -
We have a looooong way to go before we've "dumped" on rshow
as much as he has cumulatively "dumped" on us!

" .... The thought of spending an entire year in such a
hostile environment is almost too much to even comprehend. We
have lived up to our end of the bargain, we have done our job,
without the benefit of a clearly defined mission. The very
least that we are owed is honesty ... "
