It seems to me that both candidates this year feel, rightly so, that our government is a little overextended - financially speaking. That pesky little deficit again.
The real question is not whether or not we need to adjust our national spending habits (has anyone thought about freezing the pentagon's credit card in a block of ice?), but what priorities and values will we use for that adjustment?
Will we, as a nation, invest in the education of our young people? Will we seek to eliminate hunger in one of the world's wealthiest countries? Will we provide healthcare to those who need it most?
Or will we continue to fund (expensive!) crazy-ass ideas in the name of "national defense"?

Fecking nuts. Maybe eventually we will have helmets for bloggers, and we can beam our blogs to our friends without having to concern ourselves with security.
...the Army hopes the project will "lead to direct mental control of military systems by thought alone."
Now if they could invent a way to fight battles with thoughts instead of weapons, that might not be a bad idea at all.
glad to have found you!
Mimi -
Perhaps if the mind was employed in avoiding war altogether, rather than in fighting wars, we could get somewhere?
Diane-
Indeed. Welcome.
