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 feel like taking a walk, around the U.W. Madison area, and see if I can talk with my best U.W. contact. It seems to me that if I could get some simple, reasonable things worked out with UW, as far as contact goes - a lot might happen safely and comfortably. If the UW was really comfortable that I was proceeding in a reasonable, fair way, consistent with the interest of the UW as well as my own - and a few other people I know were, too -- my guess is that I could get the money for a good debriefing. A distinguished man with great achievements in the movie and food business runs the foundation I'd contact first - but there are others. It seems to me that with just a little flexibility in a few spots (not basic changes of the rules, just a little exception handling) - - some problems that I've been bothering this board about might be worked out.

Pretty good day. Knocking off, and having a beer. This board is windy and long sometimes. But it seems to me that sometimes, after a lot of words, simple things jell that are worthwhile. I hope the market goes up tomorrow, and think maybe it ought to.

Minkow also performs "fraudits" on behalf of the Fraud Discovery Institute, which he co-founded. . "Everyone I met in prison had one thing in common - they never planned on being there," 'Things go from order to disorder," Minkow explains today, slipping into seminar mode. "This is one of the laws of what I call fraudodynamics.

"" All big countries attuned to powerful interests and sentiment at home, and with no nation to challenge them abroad, always clump about the globe in heavy boots, making up their own rules as they go along. Any leader of any such nation will be sucked into acting this way
