    Building the Real Iron Man

    Afghanistan. A hidden bunker. Four men with rifles guard a thick, rusted steel door. Bam! A huge fist pounds against it—from inside. Bam! More blows dent the steel. The hinges strain. The guards cower, inching backward. Whatever's trying to break out is big. And angry.

    The technology is facinating, though I fear that we are moving far to slowly with advancements in science. It is taking far to long to come up with new advancements. There are not enough people that are of literal genius status or near genius status involving themselves in science. Myself, I am ashamed that I don't even know how to type or spell properly, even though I was seen as a pheonom as a child. Remember Einstein was bad with phone numbers. I need to educate myself. I fear it is coming far to late in my life, but I have to try. I spent to much time drinking beer, and not enough time diving into books. I will say this for the exo-skeleton, it is worth waiting for. The applications are going to be quite varried. I just don't want to see a college kid hitting a bong off campus meeting his death to the new rookie of the patrol squad as he rolls up and torches the poor chitlin... Ow! CAN YOU SAY POLICE BRUTALITY?
