Austin Bay: Manned and Unmanned in the Air

Since the first man dug a pit lined with spikes and covered it with vines and branches, the "unmanned" infliction of death has existed. The deliberately balanced rocks and death traps within ancient tombs are a testament to mankind's genius for wiping out his own kind.

The use of "technology" to bridge the gap, so that you don't have to go back and check if it has worked or not, has existed since a man tied a piece of string around a limb so that a prompt jerk from the apparatus of death indicated that it had occurred, has been well refined over the last 100 years through wired and wireless communications together with a satisfyingly devastating "boom" some miles away.

We have all seen "video game" footage of REAL soldiers REALLY dying under night vision by use of remotely aimed machine guns.

A less sophisticated computer version of a remote controlled air-borne killing machine has been a possibility for over thirty years.

Remember the "Stealth" Bomber? The u.s. government consistently and resolutely denied its existence, and yet rumors, projections and "conspiracy theories" continued unabated. Eventually the "Stealth" Bomber was unveiled to the world, giving all the CT people a chance to jump up and down and say "we were right all along!!"

My question was "From what did this unveiling of a now outdated technology divert our attention?"

Before you fall to the ground in worship of the "Global Hawk", "Predator" and "Reaper", I suggest you ask yourself the same question.

Sally Field Speaks for More People than Michelle Malkin Does

Unable to "comment" my full outrage at pro-war Michelle's rant about Sally Field, here is the complete item without the deletions to make it fit:

Sally Field speaks for far more people than you do.

Your opinions are not facts. Equally, what follows is my "opinion".

The daily abuse that you churn out disguised as social comment makes you come across as so jaded and hateful. I wonder if you weren’t prematurely born into a bucket and had to bring yourself up. What a cruel world it must have been for you. All this hate and scorn that you peddle because something must have been missing in your own childhood—-and now you’re raising at least one child to be similarly hateful and vicious. I’m no fan of eugenics, but in your case I make an exception. Do the world a favor and have your tubes tied.

This war is not about a lioness protecting its cubs. It's about retaliation for an oil deal gone wrong. You're in media, you do the research: Georgie Bush Junior had already stated his intention to go after Osama Bin Laden long before the events of 9-11 (which for him was manna from heaven); it gave him a feasible excuse to start spilling innocent blood.

To use your own analogy: It's school yard bullies throwing sand in each other’s faces, except that the cost is in human lives-—roughly 3/4 million so far.

In modern history there is one very strong argument against the idea that women would lead a world of peace: Margaret Thatcher, but the right-wing fascist vitriol that you spit out on a daily basis rapidly puts you in a poor second place.

In Sally-world people take responsibility for their own actions, and learn to accept that other people think differently. They learn things like tolerance, understanding and communication.

In Michelle-world, you call people who disagree with you "nut-jobs", hold them up to scorn on the national media and vehemently seek to impale their heads on pikes.

I work in the Security industry (which only exists because the "Police" aren’t doing their jobs properly). Sometimes I’m required to carry one of those shiny metal things with a hollow tube from which comes sharp shooty things. Just because I’m temporarily empowered with the ability to kill someone (sorry, to "stop" someone) doesn’t mean I’m going to fall back on it every time I cross paths with someone I don’t like. The "Old West" is supposed to be in the history books and is better left there.

Where I work, I have the reputation for the quiet sites that in the hands of others have become uncontrollable, and you know what the secret is Michelle? It’s communication! It’s finding out why two people have gotten to the point of throwing food at each other, and finding a resolution. And guess what, sweetheart? It works!

In Sally-world self-defence is locking your doors and windows, and maybe using an improvised weapon against an intruder.

In Michelle-world self-defence is driving your SUV through the neighbor’s bedroom wall, and splattering the place with pig-hunting rifles.

You want some discipline in the world? Then go get Georgie Bush Junior, lay him over your knee and give him the thrashing that Barbara never did. Put the bully back in his place.

And by what right do call up Vietnam? Both Vietnam and Korea were internal matters that were never the rightful business of a U.S. administration. Do you know how many of my fellow countrymen died or were severely wounded in Vietnam, because our right-wing government chose to support yours? Do you even care?

The "united" States of America is not the world’s police force. It does not by any means have the right to barge into another country flailing its own weapons of mass destruction all over the place whilst screaming "You will have democracy, whether you want it or not!!!"

Have you ever bothered to work out how much of the Earth’s land mass is becoming uninhabitable because of the use of "depleted" uranium warheads? Is this administration (to which you do obeisance so thoroughly that mostly we can only see your rear end) going to take responsibility for cleaning up this mess? Are we going to see U.S.-led strip mining initiatives to sift all the uranium dust out of the environment? Is this going to be followed by land rehabilitation? "Yeah, right. Dream on lover boy."

In Sally-world all these things are taken into consideration for the greater good.

In Michelle-world it’s just collateral damage. Leave it for future generations to fix.

In Sally-world there’s some dude who hangs around street corners pushing the latest letter of the alphabet. In Sally-world, her kids are taught to avoid this dude, because adding those letters to your diet makes it harder to spell later on.

In Michelle-world there’s this Nazi on TV who pushes venom, racism and religious intolerance—-and to add insult to injury, she gets paid a motza for the mass poisoning of people’s minds! Athough I am led to believe that this audience is ever decreasing.

Nowhere in the Quoran does it preach death to unbelievers. The mindless killing of innocents is carried out by a group of self-righteous fundamentalists just like yourself. If you’re so pro-war, when are you going to sign up? There are two going on for which you could volunteer. What's that? Oh, you only "comment". Pat Tillman had the courage of his convictions. Now, what were yours again?--Sign up with the Australian Navy and they’ll even give you your personal issue pair of fake boobies.

There is a Christian scripture which reads, "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live." Contrary to right-wing Christian fascist propaganda that scripture has nothing to do with the practice of magic. The "witch" is the busy-body Michelle Malkin who can’t keep her nose out of other people’s business. Yet another argument for your sterilization so that the hatred you spew all over the landscape may gradually be brought to a halt.

As for your dreadfully inappropriate attempt to quote Robert R. Heinlein (Oh my God! Another Jewish name!), "It Will Be a Great Day When Our Schools Get All the Money They Need and the Air Force Has to Hold a Bake Sale to Buy a Bomber," you do, of course, realize that sacrificing one day of the U.S. military budget would virtually solve the entire third world crisis? Nah, in Michelle-world we just go and blow the f*** out of them. I guess that’s more fun, is it?

Sally tries to be a dove of peace, while Michelle strives to be a bomb-laden loon.

I guess it doesn’t bother you that Blackwater "employees" (for want of a better word) have been identified on multiple occasions cruising around taking pot-shots at innocent Iraqi citizens, presumably just to relieve the monotony-—I guess you can only entertain yourself for so long over a Chess set with 31 missing pieces.

In Sally-world we all preach love and peace and try to get on and when agreement can't be reached, we politely agree to disagree.

In Michelle-world we thank our personal deity that we were lucky enough to grow up in the last remaining "superpower" and enjoy the opportunities that have been denied to the rest of the world, and then support the infrastructure that continues to deny these opportunities to those who most desperately need them.

By the way, in Sally-world motherhood and peace-making very much go hand in hand. When two kids are fighting over the same toy, there needs to be some negotiation as to how it should be shared.

In Michelle-world the toy at the center of the argument probably gets smashed over the head(s) of the offending kid(s) along with MM diatribe how nothing in the world is fair, and grab everything you can.

Well, when I get the opportunity to grab my share of your La-La land drivel, I usually get a sufficient share by closing the link that someone else has sent me—-as I’m not connected to U.S. TV or cable directly I don’t have the joy of using the stone-age "Off" switch.

Here’s a couple of bumper stickers for you:

"For your favorite fascist drivel, tune into channel OFF, and learn to think for yourself."

"Dont blame me for Bush. I voted with the majority--TWICE!"
