>>>There was an incredible cost to this nation to develop the technology that led to the downfall of the Soviet empire<<<< I was in the process of responding to your post when I was kicked offline for awhile so i'll just comment on one item in it. You are probably in bed now. What little technology that was developed at the great expense of us under Reagan was many many times over at too high of an expense. I don't mean in the sense that we didn't break them down I mean in the sense that so much of the technology didn't work then doesn't work now and will never work. I can't tell you what all that is, it would take a physicist to do that. I just know that his advisors talked him into throwing most of the money at things that scientists say is for the most part close to impossible. Perhaps we can look back now and say it was all worth it but at the time when I went almost 3 years without hardly any work it wasn't funny. The defense industry was huming which should make the average republican happy.
