War in orbit???

All,

I propose that weapons in space be banned from private or state
ownership, and that everyone be acessed a tax to pay for a single
police force authorized to neutralize any violators :-). Space, just
like the frontier of old, will have it's bandits and nationalistic
forces to contend with. Eventually, perhaps we will have robots to
protect us from ourselves as one scifi writer once proposed long,
long, ago, but until now, a police force that is answered to a
committee of states is the best answer. Naturally, lets leave the
pathetic UN out of it, OK?

Regards,
