Keeping space weapons at a distance

To the Editor: 

 

I’d like to set the record straight for those concerned about the city of Berkeley’s space weapons resolution, which bans space weapons above city limits, as being “embarrassing.” (Forum, Sept. 21-22) 

Personally, I’d rather “cede the space above my head” to the harmless little old city of Berkeley, whose statement is obviously only a symbolic gesture meant to call attention to the intentions of weapons corporations like Lockleed Martin, who actually have the right to, and plan to, put nuclear weapons in the space above our heads.
