1/23 Coin shortage could turn pennies to nickels http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070122/us_nm/usa_pennies_shortage_dc Can they really do that? Doesn't it just cause inflation or depreciation of the US Dollar which defeats the purpose? |

1/23 "China weapons test shakes up world view" http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070123/ap_on_re_as/china_missile_test \_ I don't even know why people making a such big deal of this for the following reasons: - virtually all space program are run by the military. What made China's space program so opaque again? - what China has done allegedly is something US and USSR has done in the 1980's. That is 25+ years later. What is a big deal? - China has tried this 4+ times and this is the first time it hit something. There is a huge chance that this is nothing but a non-repeatable lucky shot. - China has begged US to sign a treaty banning the arming of space but US refused and said US need all means necessary to protect itself. Don't you remember any of that yourself? \_ It's a big deal because only US and USSR had the capability to do this previously. Also, there are concerns that the politicians don't have enough control over the military. |
