Oh Orwell... I'm so very sorry.

Raytheon plans to open an exhibit at Epcot later this year that "will engage children through a fun, entertaining and informative experience that helps instill a lifelong passion for math, science and technology."

Yes, the very same Raytheon that built the GBU-27 (Affectionately referred to as a 'Bunker Buster'), the first bombs to be dropped at Dora Farms during the airstrike invasion at the beginning of the Iraq War. (An "Opportunity Strike" - Thanks Congress)
Recruit 'em young, right?

In related news, the Marines sent me some informative bribery material (Promising free trinkets for enlisting as well as added gifts for giving them the name of a friend) which was addressed, "Dear High School Graduate." I politely sent back the postage-paid post cards with notes attached: "PLEASE STOP SENDING ME THESE. I AM NOT WILLING TO KILL FOR FREEDOM, DEMOCRACY, LIBERATION, RETRIBUTION, RESOURCES, OR COLONIZATION. THANKS."
Next time you or I get another one of those postage paid cards, mail back a brick attached to it.
Or even a junkie used tire.
