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?

As someone who have peeked into this site from time to
time, I do find it regretable that this site won't be
available for Bob Showalter and Ichic despite my past
disagreements on your paradigm-shifting views-- can't say the
same for the rest of the characters. So Bob & Ichic please
e-mail me the alternative forum to which you will migrate. I
won't be able to respond or contirbute much but I do like ot
keep trackof your "public" discourse if I can.

truth? YES. Click "rshow55" for some things Lchic and I have
done and worked for on this thread.
Thanks manjumicha20 ! I'm grateful for your
email adress .
I posted this on the Guardian today:
There have been about 1,330 postings on the NYT Missile
Defense forum since I last posted here - and I'm grateful to
have a this chance to post again. Many of those 1,330 posts
are mine and Lchic's - the rest, perhaps 900, are being
done by people entirely unconnected to The New York
Times Company ( judging from what these posters themselves
say. )
The forum will be closing down Friday - after more than 3
years and more than 28,000 posts. It will not be archived -
but I have most of it on http://www.mrshowalter.net/
- and will get the rest up.
I posted this yesterday:
There's nothing I can write, just now, any better than the
extensive collection of good stuff in http://www.mrshowalter.net/Reader_Discussion_'Repress_Yourself'.htm
taken from Reader Discussion: 'Repress Yourself'
As of now, that is linked to the MD board - but soon, it
will be relinked to the same links (about 12 mb in all) on http://www.mrshowalter.net/
I've put up the full threads of
Guardian: Psychwarfare, Casablanca . . . and terror http://www.mrshowalter.net/Psychwar1_Recent.htm
Guardian: Paradigm Shift - whose getting there? http://www.mrshowalter.net/Paradigm1_Recent.htm
Guardian: Mankind's Inhumanity to Man http://www.mrshowalter.net/MankindsInhumanity1_Recent.htm
Guardian: Detail, and the Golden Rule http://www.mrshowalter.net/a_md01000s/DetailNGR.htm
on http://www.mrshowalter.net/
- and links in these thread collections will be updated to http://www.mrshowalter.net/
as time permits.
After the MD thread ends, I'll have some time to summarize.
And condense, in a way that isn't possible in the heat of what
has too often been a battle. I'm looking forward to that. I
deeply appreciate these Guardian Talk threads, and
think that they have influenced people in power, and close to
power. http://www.mrshowalter.net/Sequential.htm
