Followup-To: A discussion on SDI
Organization: CSRI, University of Toronto
Lines: 26
Keywords: SDI, military, money

My friend and I have been closely following the pro/anti SDI arguments
raging on this network.  We do not think that this sort of discussion is
appropriate in can.general, but here goes...

Question: Is all military money 'dirty money'?

We have seen a lot of SDI arguments lately, both here, in the press, and
on TV.  However, we would like to know, of all those people who have posted
anti-SDI articles, how many of them would accept money from the military at
all, never mind the SDI money.

We feel that people should not argue about SDI funding by saying that
SDI is dangerous/evil/destabilizing when in fact they believe that all
military money is dirty money.
SDI _is_ controversial, however, we do not think it should be used as a
smokescreen by people that believe any military money should not be taken.
These people should argue against military money in itself, and should
not limit the argument to pros and cons of SDI.
