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?

Spots can organise themselves into patterns too ...
Symmetry can be achieved using spots with paper fold
Notice the POPE is counting the dots today .... as Arch
Angel Gabriel from on high targets dots into St Peter's square
for Papals to run around and collect all the while singing
'Thank-you God!'

Tax-cut ends up on the cutting-room-floor
""Are you confused? So are the experts. For 90 percent
of Americans, none of this matters, because they will get
little or nothing from the dividend tax exemption anyway.
But among the minority who might expect to gain, many will
find their tax cut chewed up by fees for lawyers and
accountants.

Comment | If legal-eagles are to be the true recipients of
the tax cuts ... and if USA legals live hand-to-mouth as
elsewhere ... the cuts may in fact just get spent and work!

Pygmy - killed if job not done
U.N. team is investigating reports that Congolese rebel
troops have killed and eaten Pygmies in northeastern Congo, a
U.N. official said. The two rebel factions often hire Pygmies
to hunt food for them in the forests as they fight to oust the
rival rebel Congolese Rally for Democracy-Liberation from
mineral-rich areas of Ituri province, a U.N. official said. If
the expert hunters return empty-handed, rebel troops kill and
eat them, the official said.

The Pygmies would have had improved chances
