Bush likely to back weapons in space
bush is after "Rods from God"
Does this mean that Space has effectively been claimed for America? Is it only America that can blast people from the heavens, or could anybody (me, for example) cobble together some sort of doomsday device from bits of fridge and fireworks and send it up into space to menace people?
I expect that if my doomsday device did get into space I would be one of the early recipients of one of their thunderbolts. How can that be right? What gives America the perogative to fill the skies with deadly pieces of weaponry? Oh yes, money and religious mania.
This is America saying "we're in charge and if you don't like it we'll drop a big heavy weight on you from space or fry you with a laser". I think Bush has been watching too much Buck Rogers. (At least, don't you think, Reagan was an affable clown who you could imagine with outsized shoes and a red nose? Bush is like one of those scary magicians that's been pulling doves out of his shirt for too long.)
I've said it before and I'll say it again - it's just a matter of time before America turns nasty and ends up as our enemy. God, it's scary and depressing. And now I've missed Ray Mears. Great.
