Re: [OT] I need a reality check

For everything new technological change the rule of unintended
consequences applies.

Not that i am sure of where the 'truth' lies with DU rounds.  Between
that, application desired and cost I assume that DU rounds aren't the
only thing fired.

My kids will be one of the first families in our 'family tree' to not
have children who served in the military.  Kind of strange but somehow
satisfying.  Like that line in Lion King, "slimey but satisfying.' 
Sometimes I feel... well, not exactly guilty but close... and then I
feel
not exactly relieved but close... 

Well, I'm getting both OT and Maudlin.	Time to finish getting ready for
work.

Gracias,
Glenn
