Recently I wrote that my professor Harold Lewis resigned from the American Physical Society for their endorsement of the linkage between human activity and Climate Change. Reading about him, I also found out that he felt well about a project he collaborated on during the Vietnam War, through the Jason group he belonged to. He then said that now it was being used against Mexicans trying to move to the US.
The NYT has an editorial today:
``It is past time to pull the plug on the “virtual fence” that the federal government has been trying to erect on the border with Mexico. The Secure Border Initiative Network — a series of towers with radar and cameras that is supposed to spot trespassers along most of the 2,000 miles of border — is a costly failure.''
I guess Hal's work was not applied properly; Oh well.
