Good point (even with the Patton reference). However, I think there are other, current, weapons systems that can do the job of the F22 for much cheaper. Also, in this era of deficit and debt, it makes sense to trim back the Defense budget which is still largely based on fighting an enemy which ceased to exist 20 years ago.

The ALS Residence Initiative already built a paradigm-shift in skilled nursing care in Chelsea, MA. The Residence was built as part of the Leonard Florence Center for Living as a place for ALS/MS patients with severe disability to live with maximum independence and with the highest quality nursing care available.

The Residence was designed by my friend Steve Saling with his own long-term care requirements in mind. The building is stuffed with automation equipment from PEAC which enables people, who can only use their eyes to control a computer, to open doors, operate lights, call an elevator, or summon assistance (among other operations). The Residence is the first of its kind, and the ALSRI is committed to building these across the USA. The second facility is to be built near Atlanta, GA.

Exactly. The ABM projects are a 21st Century solution to a 20th Century threat that no longer exists. The threat of a wave of ICBMs is over, and no country is going to send a single or handful of missiles our way, fail to neutralize our response, then suffer the annihilation that would be our response. As you point out, it's conventional military operations hampered by cyberwarfare that is the hot threat with economic+cyber warfare being the cold threat.
