    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.

Can we do a better job of finding truth? YES. Click "rshow55" for some things Lchic and I have done and worked for on this thread.

wrcooper 9/2/02 8:37pm . . . so my "opinions represent a dangerous aberration that requires the strongest possible refutation."

Taking that sort of position - and knowing how indirect enronation is - how much can be subverted - and how much stolen?

This thread may well work for pretrial discovery.

And we have an audience.

Some of my personal background - and to some degree the story of my somewhat unusual life, is set out in readable form in these links (3894-3904):

"" Don't call the CIA again. It won't do you any good. If you want to talk to us, just whisper into your pillow. ""
Says 'HobGoblin' above - meaning literally 'there's a bug in the pillow' ... life is 'so bizarre - so bizarre' in the US.

Seems it's time the CIA was placed directly under Congress ... and made accessible to the population it serves ... it's agents should be servants of the people - not arrogant ____ etceteras ... if Tax Payers pay for it - then why are they excluded from contacting it!? If it can't even draft and issue a 'letter' ... then big top down changes are required.

So which Uni did the guy say he worked at in '69 ..

n.b. - The browser search key word wasn't 'BMD' rather the term 'ineffective billions'

Noted 'the poster' above must agree in part with my contention that it's minds we're at .... he mentioned 'wisdom' - a state of reflective knowing - rather than a weapon.

Lighten up, folks. You may be taking yourselves a little too seriously.

? In at the 'deep end' and you forgot your 'floaties' ?
