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?

With a budget imbalance of $US38b will Arnie (DemoRepub)
plump for the boondoggle solution ... don't think so ... not
if he's trying to balance the books.
Yet on the National level the boondoggle is the chosen
route.
State Logic and National Logics .... differ .... with an
intersting question as to 'why so?'

'' Revolutionary scientific thinking requires an playful,

I came to die, discover that I had not lived. ... Henry

The term 'living life to the full' relates to people
maximising their chances and enjoyment of it, reaching
potentials -- pushing through them and beyond, and most often
people have a desire to please and contribute to the society
they live in.
The concept of military defense is on the one hand to shoot
down intruders, and on the other, to 'make safe' within a
boundary.
To make a 'better world' depends on the effort of every
individual within it, but moreso key decision and policy
making.
Raises the question
'Is the TRIGGER in the hand or the mind?' ----

truth? YES. Click "rshow55" for some things Lchic and I have
done and worked for on this thread.
Cantabb , you're not being completely ignored,
either. I did some summary posts
Guardian Talk International Psychwarfare, Casablanca --
and terror http://talk.guardian.co.uk/WebX?14@@.ee7a163/485
448-50
That posting cites http://www.mrshowalter.net/Cantabb_Srch_to10_4.htm
Lchic's postings are fine - and are a good deal more
often associated directly with Missile Defense than
Jorian319's .
