You killed the thread.

Good post and good notation of a good post.

Again, I like pissing on decisions by President Obama. But there's really nothing upsetting about that EO.

There just isn't.

It's still worded that the government can take what you have and it does not have to be an emergency. According to obama.

No. It isn't.
To improve something would mean you had control over it, wouldn't it?
(d) improve the efficiency and responsiveness of the domestic industrial base to support national defense requirements; and

(e) foster cooperation between the defense and commercial sectors for research and development and for acquisition of materials, services, components, and equipment to enhance industrial base efficiency and responsiveness.

Or even this part

Sec. 104. Implementation. (a) The National Security Council and Homeland Security Council, in conjunction with the National Economic Council, shall serve as the integrated policymaking forum for consideration and formulation of national defense resource preparedness policy and shall make recommendations to the President on the use of authorities under the Act.

No.

After an attack, to improve something implies only something along the line of first aid.

To improve our ability to recover after an attack -- where we presently have no contingency plans in place or piss poor ones only -- requires some effort and good planning. Not some amorphous "control."
 
No. It isn't.
To improve something would mean you had control over it, wouldn't it?

So a policy maker is not the controller? What if the policy is not followed? Why have a policy if no one follows it or there is no penalty

You are in full babble mode.

The policy maker now being referred to by you makes policy in how to implement a PLAN to deal with the contingency of an attack on America that damages our national-interest infrastructures.

How is that a bad thing again?

Hows a dictatorship in the name of safety sound to you? We are a country that have restraints on the government for a reason.

Like you are high.

We are a country that have restraints on the government for a reason.

And none of those reasons include a "need" to be unprepared for an act of terrorism or war that damages our infrastructure.

What you seem to willingly forget is that we did not set up a government o checks and balances and restraints and enumerated powers to make government utterly inefficient. We did the checks and balances thing, we imposed restraints and enumerated the legitimate powers of government to make government LESS powerful and less potentially threatening to us. NONETHELESS, we STILL wanted to craft a government capable of DOING the very things we ask governments to do. We were seeking a BALANCE, not just to hobble government forever.

We'll just have to agree to disagree, I hope I am wrong I just don't see it that way though.

Ok. But the words in the EO say what they actually say. So, I don't see how you can read them any other way.

You're still ok in my book, even if I did speak abrasively to you.

I'm feeling a little guilty at the moment and a little contrite.

Sorry.

I have a strong sense of perception. I pick up on things that others miss.
