An Elaboration upon the need for Technology.
In Order to Elaborate, as I Grow Older and Wiser, the Feelings I have about Youth are best Experienced in a moment of awareness that allows the Past to be the Past. I was Only Me. The Ego need not get nasty about the details. I like feeling that warm, numb like, dumb animal love. The things I might have done could just as well be done right now. This is an irony that I have forsaken. I love being in the moment, not living with what might have been. I have hope for all that they may experience this awareness of the letting go of sorrow.

I realize that we are merely perfecting our technology and weaponry. It gets tested from time to time, but there is alot of anxiety about being defenseless in the face of an extraterrestrial invasion. Our scientists keep driving ahead, oblivious of the fear that they are feeding. Let's face it, maybe they have something in Hangar 18 or Area 51 that makes them really nervous. Our politicians are doing the best they can to enforce a Global Nuclear Policy, but nobody wants to be left defenseless. Iran, North Korea and Afghanistan all have a massive inferiority complex when faced with the eeality of superpowers like China, Russia and ourselves in the U.S.A.

Nobody wants a Global Panic, but they are doing their damnedest to herd us like Cattle into a Zombie like existence. Children are always sheltered from the Horrible Reality by their Parents. Such it is with nuclear policy. The Government is so Paranoid about information leaks that they are creating a Cloud of Conspiracy around themselves whilst unaware of the trigger happy annihilationists. Believe it or not, most of those weapons in Space are pointed away from us and towards the Depths of Outer Space. We are creating a Defense Network that is capable of withstanding a Full Scale Assault Comparable to that of the Death Star in the "Star Wars" movie. Reagan was right to have termed his Brain Child "Star Wars". Secrets still exist under the umbrella of DARPA and our Top Administrative officials are still talking things out amongst themselves with other Countries.

I am of the Belief that the Galaxy is not such a Pleasant place to Visit. If an intelligent species like ourselves exists, then there is really no Doubt that there would be a Natural Predator somewhere out there. There are probably numerous Intelligent Species in the Galaxy, some of them friendly towards Humanity, some of them quite Aggressive and Hostile; like Klingons or something. Humanity is not really prepared for the 21st Century. We are as helpless in our understanding of Future technology as someone from the 19th Century would be Today. For me, living with Nuclear Phobia is like living with the common Cold. There is no cure for it, but we have "medicine" to ease the Symptoms. Anybody can go crazy and Seize control like an Adolf Hitler or Alexander the Great, but usually everbody else stands up and says stop that, as in the case of Nagasaki and Hiroshima.

However, there are always innocent casualties. There's really nothing anyone can do. We simply need to try harder to keep the peace. That is why we are creating a sort of Big Brother awareness around ourselves. Just go to any Airport and Compare it to a Futuristic Starport. Everybody is watching Everbody else for suspicious Activity.
