San Diego; freelance writer Lines: 15 Why are those people opposed to High Frontier so adamantly against any form of space defense? Don't know about you, but I'd rather be able to defend against some nut like the one that runs Libya than not defend at all.

How does it feel to live in a country that, with six months' notice, still couldn't shoot down an incoming warhead? Alex
