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 legend of the Loon by Kathy-Jo Wargin is another one of her great legends. Although it doesn't specifically mention Michigan it certainly could be. The grandmother becomes concerned when her grandchildren go out in a boat and are late coming back. The children are lost and finally find their way back by following the loon. Grandma turned into the loon to show them the way back to safety. Great for older kids, although our younger ones enjoy the story as well.

Stories - should get told more often!

What's the story of 'the cold war' ... how did it affect 'the children (many of whom were grown-ups) ... why did it happen ... has it stopped .... yet? ... No! ... Why not? Was it a scary story? Is it still scary?

The lack of enforcement by the Moderators has given Showalter the firm belief that they are aiding him in his "work"....thereby making everything worse....

Begs the question - if a poster here were 'the loon', and had that poster concerns about the safety of the childen of the world (many grown-up), then, were the advise of 'the loon' to be followed ... would it be a safer world for all. Stories - should get told more often!

The premise itself: Loony !

What's the story of 'the cold war' ... how did it affect 'the children (many of whom were grown-ups) ... why did it happen ... has it stopped .... yet? ... No! ... Why not? Was it a scary story? Is it still scary?

Is this how you "connect the dots" ?

No wonder !
