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?

almarst2002 6/13/02 9:21pm Too bad the link is a bit out there, but isn't this what they did to the Jews in Germany during the war too. See link ------> http://www.whitehouse.org/homeland/tattoo.asp, and the problem I have with this site is that if everyone got one of these tattoos don't you think they'd (Americans) be easier to spot, and easier to torture. I also love the sites home name http://www.chickenhead.com/ . Real piece of hysterical work if I do say so myself, alarmist2002.

supersnooper58 - "if everyone got one of these tattoos don't you think they'd (Americans) be easier to spot"

Don't you think Americans are distinct enough even without those tattoos?

Louis Mazza

supersnooper58:

Sorry, I hail from the NJ Mazza's. I've had people ask if I am related to the Connecticut Mazzas as well. A Lou Mazza from Minneapolis e-mailed me. He was doing a photo album on the family and advised me that there are 78 Louis Mazzas in the US.

So Louis is becoming an uncommon name. It's amazing how many varied spelling exist. These are just a few that I've been treated to. Loo, Lu, Luu, Liu, Lui, Lew, Luis. I guess no one teaches the French Revolution anymore, right lchic?

And what do you ask does this rambling have to do with missile defense? Well this is the geneology forum isn't it?
