Wil's Rant

Meanwhile, George just doesn't seem able to get this missile defense thing working. Now there's a quandary, after all, the defense industry needs as much government business as it can get. I hope that sooner or later, someone's going to take exception to the American practice of invasion at whim. And when that happens, there are going to be unhappy faces in a few corporate boardroom. Solution, the race to militarize space. Research and development funds have no ceiling when it comes to defense. Many happy billions to be made by companies friendly to George. The benefits to society as a whole may be a little harder to establish, but hey, that never stopped anybody in Iraq, right.
