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?

On this forum's demise and its possible migration to Guardian, I had mentioned, rather facetiously, that: "NYT's loss, Guardian's gain...."

But now, less facetiously, it might actually be: "NYT's gain......"

[Imagine rshow trying to resolve his problems with NYT and its 'paid employees' and CIA through "Guardian" --- in order for him to "function" and get out of his "house arrest" in Madison, WI. May be Casey's alternate advice, Plan B, was : "come through 'Guardian'" ! ]

ultimately TRUTH outs : TRUTH has to be morally forcing : build on TRUTH it's a strong foundation

Guardian - v - TimeGate

Which sounds more people friendly?

the void would be calling...

Let's do the time-warp again.

Let's do the time-warp again.

It's just a jump to the left.

And then a step to the right.

Cantabb's .... In another dimension, | with voyeuristic intention, | Well secluded, | I see all.

With a bit of a mind flip | He's into the time slip. | And nothing can ever be the same. | He's spaced out on sensation. | LIKE Camtabb' s UNDER SEDATION |

.... do the time-warp again. Let's do the time-warp again.

Using cantabb logic there are so many possibilities and combinations below -- no one can understand 'what he means' ....

You SPEAK only for yourself (& may be rshow) but no one else ! If you can't understand a simple comment, that's YOUR problem, nobody else's.

{Obviously, I don't talk Showalter-ese that you're so conversant with).

Cantabbulator - what do you mean by - 'Good luck in your next venture'

STILL being childish, giving company to schoolyard"freddiemoore" ?

'Good luck in your next venture' : In Showalterese would be....:

I am so "grateful" that you are leaving soon and so "gracefully," for you to be able to "function" in "Guardian" (& in your venture there) and "successfully" resolve your problems with NYT's "paid employees" and CIA, in a manner that Casey & Eisenhower "would approve of," and you'd be "proud" to show it to your family. And, that you may continue in "Guardian" (& your next venture) to save thousands of lives through your hard work (while under "house arrest") on achieving world peace and stability with able assistance from the one and only "World Asset" and your 'bouncer'/body guard! I am grateful for this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation for our exchanges on "win-Win," "Loop Test," and "connecting the dots."

Clear enough ?

Showalter's use of 'common ground' wrt language - and people being able to talk because they have words, phrases, meanings in common .... is lost on Cantabb.

You can't even hope to find a "common ground" (let alone reaching it to be able to "use" it and well), UNLESS you can clearly state (in English/Arabic or Aussie-English) what you wanted to convey. A MAJOR problem for rshow and you.

Cantabb additionally can't distinguish 'the general' as against 'the particular'.

Rshow has NOTHING in his meaningless "generalities," and makes just about the same sense when (if ever) he talks about anything "particular."

Hope some day, you'll be successful in finding your neighborhood "TRUTH-dispenser," and I pray you'd be able to press the right button -- so that "TRUTH" can come "out" -- "ultimately."

In the mean time, TRY harder, World Asset !
