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?

The hot-tub links for Showalter to travel in his green bottle would be either - Great lakes ... North Atlantic ... Equator ... South Atlantic ... Indian Ocean ... Coral Sea or North Atlantic, Panama Canal - Pacific ....

ichic, girl, you are so irrelevant, it is really sad to watch your "parade."

Do you realize you just don't make one single sense to a normal human being?

Showalter - Not even a " buzz buzz buzz busy line " your phone was ringing .... at various times ... and as you say, you were home --- seems 'big brother' is determining the calls you are allowed to receive

Wonder what sort of 'democracy' the US has in mind for those 'elsewhere' places ...

A warning to smart youngsters --- don't opt for a career with 'the government' ... keep your life - rather than be allocated 'a keeper'!
