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?

This is George Johnson this time.
You can examine me in light of Piaget all you want, but
it's not going to change how I think, and it's not going to
change the fact that your opinions represent a dangerous
aberration that requires the strongest possible refutation.
You will be checked and checked thoroughly.
It is not for naught that we saw to it that you began
posting here in the New York Times. This is a controlled
venue. We know who you are and where you are.
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.

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

"" Don't call the CIA again. It won't do you any good.

"" 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.

too seriously.
