If we can truly stop 95% of the incoming missiles, then I think we should give some serious thought to this plan. I also heard on the news that several imminent scientists testified before congress in favor of this plan and I have to believe that they have a better understanding of the merits and faults of this plan than either Gary or myself. I would be interested in hearing some discussion of this idea as opposed to seeing a mass of knee-jerk reactions to this idea. --> Allen <-- ihnp4!ihuxb!alle
