    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?

'' I'm sorry for what they did to her and if there was something I could do to restore her anonymity, I would do it in a New York minute. ''

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?
