The article I'm replying to is too long to include here,  but the
basic idea is that you can blast Earth from space with mass drivers.
This sort of thing is the reason we must keep weapons out of space.
If we don't, a lot of people are going to suffer.  One of them
might be you.  The U.S.S.R. has proposed a treaty banning weapons
from space.  This is currently before the U.N.  I believe it is
strongly in our interest to negotiate, sign, ratify, monitor and
enforce such a treaty.  Let's not blow it, this is our last chance.
