  1. Re:Scientific research never got anyone anything on Senate Budgetmakers Move To End US Participation In ITER · · Score: 1

    the centrally planned fusion research program is a huge waste of money, always has been, always will be. a serious research program, in the public interest, would fund diverse approaches to fusion energy technology. ITER is a hogslop feeding trough for a politically connected minority of researchers.

    cut out corruption and you will find that the hot fusion budget shrinks by orders of magnitude.

    heck, we didn't respond to an unarmed invasion - why would response to an armed invasion be any more robust?

    naval power is kind of a joke in unlimited war. even modern FAEs could wipe out a carrier battle group very quickly, ignoring tactical nukes.

    That pretty much describes Japan nowadays.

    Anyhow, it would be criminal not to arm with nukes, given China's aggressive posture.

    he advised the disciples to arm themselves on one recorded occasion. like everything else he said there's about a 99% chance that the meaning is not obvious to the naive reader.

    Regardless of evidence.

    Legislating what is science is a very very bad idea. To cast this is stark terms: Argument from evidence has been outlawed in Great Britain.

    I would point out that many creationists are both atheists and scientists.

    Gen. Alexander established the probability of an attack on the U.S. is 1. He did this by attacking the U.S. -- quite successfully, I might add: The terrorist is winning.
