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?

I have discovered the above Showalter
GuardianTalk thread..... He's got at least these three
threads going....it's incredible to see the number of times
and threads he's repeated one or two posts....a dozen times,
three dozen...
From the Link you provided for his thread ["Mankind's
Inhumanity to Man and Woman - As natural as human goodness?"],
I saw this, starting with the now-familiar obligatory comment
["I deeply appreciate the chance to post on this thread!"].
Here is part of it that interested me. I think he, ass
usual, had much of the same in some other link he himself had
provided :

...I can report that the Guardian angers
some people who maybe need to be under some logical and
moral pressure.
If I'm right that the work I'm doing with
lchic is making NYT staff, and some politicians think - it
may be worthwhile.
[rshowalter] ......A poster named
cantabb has posted on the NYT MD tread very often
since Sept 17 - not before - and issues of his tactics link,
I believe, to some very genreal issues of discourse. His
first 82 postings - starting Sept 17 and continuing up to
Oct 4 - are collected at http://www.mrshowalter.net/Cantabb_Srch_to10_4.htm
. I've recently reposted some points - that seem very basic
indeed - about discourse - that bear on the tactics ( and
public role ) of the kind of discourse shown in http://www.mrshowalter.net/Cantabb_Srch_to10_4.htm.......

I am disappointed that my name is still not "written on the
subway walls." May be coming. Stay tuned. :)

"I think he, ass usual, had much of the..." should read "I
think he, as usual, had much of the..."
Sorry !

Just wait a New York minute Cantabb --- re-read the posts i
cited - fully and 'think' ... they belong here on 'this' board
...
The gale-force scandal outed CIA woman was chasing down
missiles ... see end of quote.
The Australians held in 'less than pow conditions' are kept
there because they are viewed as accoutriments to terrorism
... no charges, no evidence.
And the New York minute is there for a New Yorker to
'explain' that term ... or do i have to chase it down?
