Rand Paul is Cordially Invited to Kiss My Ass

62. Thanks for the kind words.

I've never heard of the space based radio frequency weapons systems, which goes to prove your point that it's largely ignored. What exactly do they involve? I mean, how do they break down bodies and minds? It's probably beyond my ability to comprehend the science of it, but it sounds scary.

What really gets to me the most is that we have these advanced weapons that people in power, whether the white house or the CIA, are going to use - but in too many instances we don't seem to have sufficient oversight. Are we even going to know what's going on? If some official decides that an American somewhere, in our own Country... is a threat that requires elimination - and they kill this person via drone strike, are we even going to hear about it if someone doesn't make a cell phone video?

It's sort of this question of who is going to watch the watchers, who is going to supervise those who have the power to kill indiscriminately. I think any stable form of government requires competent systems of checks and balances... and this is way too one-sided for me.

I'll make it. It's not nearly as cold as it was last month... as long as the temperature stays above zero, I can't complain too much. Really looking forward to spring - and to seeing the sun again.
