[Paul Ross]

It is unbelievable that we can allow these men of limited vision to continue to impede our way.

Or our defense, when we have all the evidence of history that those who would catch us off guard...will first sign paper treaties with us...or pretend to be seriously negotiating...or whatever denial works for them. All so that a Pearl Harbor attack will be successful. Now we have suffered yet another such sucker-punch with 9-11, but these idealogues are still living in 9-10.

And it is potentially a nuclear Pearl Harbor that they are putting us at risk of. Unabated Kerry-Think. With the IAEA shown to be a toothless paper tiger by both North Korea and Iran, and the fact that we virtually know nothing about Chinese R&D and deployments to any high confidence...we need to be prepared.

Our society should be strong and vigorous and capable of defending itself. But the means of defense should not preclude growth into the limitless universe. The 1967 Treaty, which we signed, and even more so, the Moon Treaty, which we did not sign, do not protect us at all, but impede our expansion as individuals into the universe.

The state is nothing if it cannot bring its benefits to the individuals.
