Do we need more weapons?
A NY Times article about space weapons.
Another bright idea
It always amazes me that we can't find the money to get health care to poor people but we can find $300,000,000 for Iraq and somehow, find money to built space weapons.
To the subject: Do we need more weapons? Back when I was a kid, there was this cold war thing going on. There was China and Russia and any minute, some crazy Chinese or Russian dude was going to push the "button" and we would all be obliterated in a big action movie explosion. Seriously, we had bomb drills where we went in the hallway, tucked out heads between our knees and kissed our asses goodbye. So we built this montrous machine so we could have our own button to push, absolutely assuring the end of the human race. Back in those days, you knew who to nuke and the guns were already pointed there.
Who we gonna nuke today? Russia is akin to an old lady in a rocking chair who can't find her dentures half the time, China is more worried about making CPS (Cheap Plastic Shit) and electronics than they are about nuking anyone. Sure, there are people like North Korea and Iran but they just want us to leave them the fuck alone and are just making nukes to have a big enough stick to whack us with if we get to close. Who we gonna point the space lasers at anyway? What are we defending against. Dubya is gonna ring the country with missle defense systems but who is gonna shoot us. We can already tell you the specific gravity of a mouse fart in outer Mongolia, how much more monitoring do we need? Everyone knows that the next nuke that goes off will be from some terrorist who smuggled it in the back of a tortilla truck coming in from Mexico, what good is a space laser gonna do there?
We have so much potential to do good in the world, why are we so intent on making them more afraid of us. Why aren't we feeding people instead of figuring and new and innovative ways to kill them?
It's a mystery to me....
