>> A weapon can seem like an amazing invention, but it still has to adapt to all sorts of conditions--budgetary, politics, and people's plain bias
I actually read TFA, and it seems like each one of these "amazing inventions" would have let someone fight the last war...a little bit better...with an incremental weapons system that would have taken a lot of resources to develop. In retrospect, it seems the right call was made to kill ALL of these systems. In fact, if there's a lesson to be learned here, its that American superiority since WWII has depended on us jumping on the right trend at the right time (e.g., carriers instead of battleships, ICBM's instead of fast bombers, missle delivery aircraft instead of dogfighters, etc.). It will be interesting to see if we moved into robotics at the right time (or if large stealth was ever worth it) when we look back in thirty years...
>> can you openly criticize your government. If the answer is yes then congratulations, you don't live in a dictatorship
And if a government body (like the IRS) singles your group out for harrassment (like auditing the hell out of all your associates) after critizing the government, then "yes, you can" live in a dictatorship too.

>> Gitmo is that it was attempted to be closed but was blocked via procedural means. Only certain penitentiaries can accept prisoners from outside of US soil and in order to do so they must have authorization from the (state) Governor...all of the penitentiaries that were able to take the prisoners had Republican governors. All of them were asked in turn by the administration, and all of them said no.
Pretty sure your facts are wrong here. For example, Illinois, an all-Democrat state, had exactly the kind of prison needed, and was proceding down this path. Long story short, there's no "blocked via procedural means" argument here, and if there were, do you really think Obama would hesitate to break the law (again) to get this done?
>> compared to Gitmo and the phoney wars we had because of George W Bush
I hope you realize Gitmo is Obama's mess now. He's had six years now to clean it up - in fact ran on a platform to clean it up - and has done little there except release some pretty evil dudes back into the wild.
So...what you've basically set up is a Kickstarter internship that will land you and a few of your friends in the wing of a defense contractor's marketing department that pitches space dreams to the public to keep political winds blowing in their favor. (Even the original poster uses the word "market.")
I noticed that she called out some crappy PAC in questions about Congress, but I didn't see her note how Obama or his FCC plays into these issues. Don't you think having the president out in front rooting for net neutrality would be the best possible thing right now? (Or will "net neutrality" just fade into a "wedge issue" that will be used to drum up funds but never really get solved to anyone's satisfaction.)

He's right. Here's a typical article relaying that point from last month:

>> will Chinese-built cars be just as good as European-built cars, and will consumers be able to tell the difference?
Initially, they will feel the same, but about an hour after they drive the Chinese model they will be hungry for an all-European experience instead.
