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?

I've had a lot of inteference with my email before.

Kalter:

Thanks for the Advantage advice. Our other two dogs are on that regimen. In fact, we took "Honey", our new household member, to our vet. She has hook worm and ring worm infestation which we will treat and then do the Advantage thing as well for her.

Our other two dogs are taking to Honey and after a bath this afternoon we'll invite her into the house. The vet thinks she's about 1-2 because of the condition of her teeth. She appears to be part Husky and part Shepard! Now we will each have a pet, (Wife, Daughter and Me), for this coming Sunday which is Pet Blessing Sunday at Church.
