Sorry pam, but I think that any money taken from taxpayers ought to have a logical purpose.  If that is uptight, then so be it. 
It is high time we eased the drought suffered by the Tree of Liberty. Let us not stand and suffer the bonds of tyranny, nor ignorance, laziness, cowardice. It is better that we die in our cause then to say that we took counsel among these.

I could expand on that but, since you don't believe in planning or zoning and it's OK for the guy upstream to flood out your place, I won't say how it can be used.

The weather satellite DOES have a purpose....it lets you see what is comin your way in the way of storms etc. right in your neighborhood at THAT particular moment. It comes in pretty friggin handy.

Yup, sure does help a lot. I heard recently that the GPS satellites may start failing soon. That would really be a shame.

  I heard that too. I really DO use the weather satellite to keep up when storms are comin and I would miss it.

If I want to know whats going on in my neighborhood, I'll look out the freakin window.

I watch the weather channel and the radar that is shown at least every hour.  I know what is going to be outside my window hours before it is there.  And as to looking out the window, my husband was a trained weather observer, but he didn't see the tornado that hit us.  Nobody saw it except the watchers that were miles away and there wasn't any time for a warning.  We did know the conditions existed because of the information that was being broadcast all evening, but when it happened, it happened.  Looking out the window didn't do a lot of good.

Wilma, I am not saying that there isn't a use for weather radar and such.  What we don't need is satellite tech. that allows folks to look down on their homes from space.  It serves no purpose and is a waste of money.

Billy, I don't care if there is someone way up there watching me.  I am not doing anything I am ashamed of.
