As more and more army functions become automated in the future, there will be fewer people shooting things and fewer people controlling more robots shooting things. This is a perfect storm for a tyrannical government...
from popular science:
Giving missiles to flying robots is so passé. The new hotness, demonstrated by the HDT Protector above, is handing machine guns to ground robots. This past weekend, four companies tested machine-gun-firing 'bots during an event at Fort Benning in Georgia.
The Protector, featured in the video above, carries gear for troops on foot and can be customized to clear paths through minefields or dig defensive positions. With a gun on top, it can do many of the things a soldier does in the field (apart from swear and be human). A remote pilot can control the Protector from almost 3,300 feet away. The gun mounted on top is an M-240 machine gun that can spray bullets up to 5,900 feet.
In conclusion: This is not the kind of robot you want to give autonomy.

Amazon Prime Bashes Republicans with its new show Alpha House
.jpg)
It just may be time to let your Amazon Prime account expire and start using other online retailers. Amazon's Alpha House paints Republicans and conservatives with every possible bad stereotype. The show is written by Gary Trudeau of Doonesbury fame, ( a leftist cartoon series) it is about four Republican Senators all living in the same house. They are all seemingly corrupt, womanizing, pandering, low integrity idiots and of course one is gay and in denial; which is an odd repetitive charge that liberals often make about conservatives, somehow they are all closeted, self hating gays.
The show seems to be designed to do one thing and one thing only: Present Republicans in the worst possible light and reinforce the negative stereotypes that the media attempts to create about Republicans every day, every minute, every second. This is a tired trope of sickening and disgusting liberal tripe.
If amazon.com wants to alienate and demonize nearly half of the population, there are plenty of venues that working Americans can go to instead of Amazon.com.

Walking Dead Spoiler Alert!
Well they killed the Governor tonight along with many other important characters. The Governor was evil, but he made for a very interesting character from a viewing perspective. In any case, it looks like the prison home is gone which I am happy about. Some new scenery will be refreshing when the series resumes in February... on another note, an interesting development, there appears to be a gang of little girls in the group who now are taking up arms and killing bad guys... there is an underlying drama on the affect the post zombie apocalypse is having on the psyche of children...and what it may turn them into...
