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?

truth? YES. Click "rshow55" for some things Lchic and I have
done and worked for on this thread.
Here's part of an undelivered speech by Franklin D.
Roosevelt, written shortly before his death:
" Today, we are faced with the
pre-eminent fact that, if civilization is to survive, we
must cultivate the science of human relationships --- the
ability of all peoples, of all kinds, to live together and
work together in the same world, at peace."
Here's my opinion:
The science of human relationships could be
substantially advanced - if we sort this out.

If you have a complicated mess - if the
facts that actually matter for a decision are clarified - a
lot can be sorted out - and quite often well enough that
good solutions are possible. ..... That change, if it
happened in my particular case on a few key facts - would
permit me and the NYT to sort out every problem we have
between us that actually matters in a way that would be
win-win - and for both of us.
EVEN on your own personal matter, you don't seem to have
the "facts" [the so-called "dots"}. So, forget about those on
MD, never really your direct concern !

Maybe these links are windy, but I tried to
make them clear....... That's a technical issue - and if I
could get "out of jail" I think I could show it in a way
that would be to the advantage of the NYT - and the whole
world - and with much lower costs to the NYT in every
respect I can think of than the costs the organization is
paying already.
What has your personal situation in or "out of jail" got to
do with anything on this thread or with NYT ? What
still-unspecified "advantage" you could be for NYT or anyone,
except for youself -- if you can ever focus, that is.

Negotation links from the Missile Defense
thread between 5:05 pm and 10:45 pm - October 23, 2003. Set
out a simple approach - all I asked was some explanations
that NYT knows very well how to give - to things NYT
actually knows, or could find out - on a sheet of paper.
..........
In ~ 40 links you posted, NOTHING you said was left
standing with any hint of credibility.
Obsessed with just reposting the same links over and over
again, all you show is you can "Save," "file" and "retrieve"
to spam-post it. NOTHING more, I'm afraid !

"Sort" what out ? 'Science of humasn relationships' ? You
might as well include 'meaning of life' too.
With numerous reposted links and such cliched-naviete,
you keep yourself far, far OFF-topic, a continued abuse of
your posting privilege.
