sorry , double-post. Glabal cooling has disguised some of the evidence for global warming according to some studies (according to a NOVA documenttary i saw). synthesizing some of chathu50's ideas ad my own, you see that is not just the brain, and not just society, but a combination of the two.

fascinating idea Sketchy J. But what about signal lag, limited sensory scope, and overall lack of total human sensation? Takes a human to take care of a human's interest. Though i love robots. They are very cool. The one problem i have is with the name. Comes from a Latin, greek, or roman word for "slave"

who knows what goes on in the world of black technology? It is secreted for a reason. Unfortunatly, that reason is, supposedly and hopefully, technological surprise in aiding defence against armed attack from other, hostile nations! call me an optimist. Its kinda sad that radicals who may or may not be muslims, radical muslims, extremeists, or terrorists should want to harm others (but let it be noted, not all zealot extremists are what they say they are, or follow the tenents of thier claimed faiths. Thake the Mountain Meadow Massacre. Radical Mormons, in clear and distict defiance of the tenants of thier faith, murdered hundreds, and redistributed thier children...... sickening. But it was not thier religion that made them do it. It was themselves) Also, interesting parallels w/ the SPARTAN armor. Reminds me of the Active Defence System thingy the military now has. I see it in an article in the area newspaper, and a few years later, i see it on the TV show FutureWeapons. And someone i lived with thought it was a misinformation thing by the military. What if this Spartan thing is information dissemination in a similar manner? bizarre theory, but plausibe in a certain light. By the way, has anyone heard of the A46? if you dont know, dont ask....
