    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?

Read Debates, a new Web-only feature culled from Readers' Opinions, published every Thursday.

Her rather selective recall !

And, he's diappointed that I lack 'empathy'. He may have explained to her the problems, and she emphasizes. How can anyone else do it, without knowing his actual (not imagined) problems and he wouldn't do it despite numerous reminders. Asking him to direct his complaints appropriately where they can be considered is, for him, not enough empathy. He wouldn't tell you anything, he wouldn't do anything you suggest, yet he complains that no body cares or understands him and his problems -- except, of course, lchic. And she goes after you, if you question HIM or his approach.

"If anyone at The New York Times Company asked me to do a job - and paid my expenses - I'd feel obligated (and honored) to work for free - for quite a lot of time."

If they pay him he'll work for free....Showalter is so totally insane...

Bluestar .... don't know what team you're on but ... you're a person who holds redundant outmoded attitudes and value systems, and demonstrates limited lexicographic skills.

"A hundred years ago, words like lunatic, cretin and cripple were simply diagnostic terms. Why did they become terms of abuse? Why did they need to change? What was the point of calling the same building an asylum, then a mental hospital, then a psychiatric hospital? Language is very potent, and what is sometimes dismissed as political correctness is more often about wanting to reflect attitudinal change, and even to lead it. "

"words like lunatic, cretin and cripple were simply diagnostic terms. Why did they become terms of abuse?"

It is just a term that appears to accurately describe Mr. Showalter's interventions on this Forum...the diagnosis is paranoid schizophrenia....
