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?

nAzzA - had Nazi's been 'National Socialists' of the people, for the people, by the people ... they would still be a people's party and operate as such, rather than be outlawed and forbidden.

The Belgium link giving the history of Nazi, and era of PrescottBush, told how the 'SS' gained empowerment over the people.

Post WWII those connecting the dots of that era generally think of all German people being 'behind' the nazi philosophy rather than entrapped by it!

Youth Working this out and gaining realisation, would be the way to off-set the characterHero-ization of Hitler!

Where is the FILM Hollywood that demos the route to hell for the regular German person through the PrescottBushHitler era?

Can anyone post - regular Thinking~German viewpoint - hollyWoodFilm titles??

Regarding the mAzzA-nAzzA biography - would there be a URL ?

On corporate theft by political figures ~ stealing from the people ...

rather like the people having shares in a herd of animals and then finding out there's 'no market day' because each animal has been eaten alive by maggots ... leaving only bones and carcass!

Maybe we're being too hard on Mazza . . . maybe he's a lot better person than we think - - and better, in some ways, than we can think - - looking at his postings here. Maybe he had a mother who loved him. Maybe for reasons a person could sympathize with. Who knows?

But there are, after all, key things to check.

It seems to me that people need to think harder - more competently - more concretely about the golden rule - - as one of the constraints that stable and comfortable arrangements require. I think some Bush people ought to think harder about that.

I've put some thoughts about the golden rule in a Guardian Talk Thread, DETAIL AND THE GOLDEN RULE http://talk.guardian.co.uk/WebX?14@@.eece621/0 . . . especially http://talk.guardian.co.uk/WebX?14@@.eece621/44

If a simple rhyme became a "nursery rhyme" - - the world would be, after a little time, wiser, more prosperous, and safer. . . . Here's that "simple rhyme" a poem started by lchic , with some additions by me.

Adults have secrets, lies and fictions
Live in their world of contradictions .

But if things go bad, and knock about .
Folks get together, and work it out.

Perfection isn't possible. It is stupid to deny that secrets, lies, and fictions are normal parts of individual and social lives for human beings. Denying it gets us all in a lot of trouble - and makes us all feel more guilty, and more vulnerable, than we ought to have to feel. Nobody's perfect. Nobody should expect it.

But if thing were checked when they mattered enough - things would be a lot better than today.

Speaking of the "golden rule" -- put yourself in my position. Wouldn't you try to do the things I'm trying to do? . And keep at it? Would you really have a choice?

It seems to me that the world would be a better place - - and Bush might be a better president -- it the phrase "Nazi-Bush" entered the language as "one word" -- focused by dialog, as "connect the dots" has come to be focused by dialog.

In American Hollywood scripts there are often pointers to the USA~Shadow Government.

Nash the subject of 'A beautiful mind' did not 'work with' the script writer who lead us to assume his GameTheory with Economic usages was what Nash was about. That he did not see himself in a position where he was able to talk about his work - suggests he may be under restraint regarding discussion on his career.

Vast movements of people out of Areas where USA~Shadow Foreign policy is/was supporting wacko-rightWing governments are indicators that the USA has not been about liberty and democracy abroad, not government for the people by the people.

How many people can look back and see their coming into unique being as a result of mass movements of peoples either
