Quite backwards, I think. Unfortunately for mankind, more people are interested in Sports Star "n" then they are in actual quality *entertainment*. Personally, I'm just waiting for the cheap TV.
Of course, there will be technical limitations to overcome for this, assuming you are not on the digital cable thang...
The way I see it, the Federal gov't should only really be spending in vital infrastructure and Defense. We are in the worst possible position in this world, in that we are envied.
The Iraq war is different, I think, because it is a war waged for one [set of] reason[s], justified with another, funded with yet another, and finally morphed into something altogether different. It's also irritating how much false information, from all sources, is floating around there, so the citizenry cannot form a coherent picture of what's going. The result: anger and a growing desire to flee, which would be disasterous for all parties involved.
Some straight talk from the politicians would be in order. But we will never get that.
Actually, I'm not unconvinced the point of a missile defense shield isn't to spend the Soviets into submission, by forcing them to respond....oh wait, the Soviets are dead...
If you value survival, you do. Not that I advocate war or anything, but I would like the baddies to believe I have a reasonable ability to kick their ass.
They should just skip past all of this wasteful pressing of partially-crippled CDs, and skip straight to utterly unusable CDs. We all know it's coming.

How do you define threat?
