Now that is silly my good Dr. Panglos!

Just what is it that you want defense against? Terrorist scenarios? Hypothetical terrorist scenarios? Or plot devices in thriller novels? Or a national defense against bad spy novels? What about an attack by the Frog People of Jupiter? There's no defense against that. The Bikini Babes of Saturn could land any moment and capture our precious bodily fluids. There's no defense against that either. Lawrence, there's easily 200,000 spy thriller novels. Do we need defenses against every possible plot device? Yes, it's totally silly. yrs, andreas www.andreas.com ------------------------------------------------------------------ To change your Lit-Ideas settings (subscribe/unsub, vacation on/off, digest on/off), visit www.andreas.com/faq-lit-ideas.html
