Apparently we won't be getting a US Death Star any time soon. I was counting on this! [Click the link, it's the most hilarious, geeky government response I've seen to anything. Made me laugh so hard I almost cried!]
I love this reasoning...it is absolutely hilarious...but at the same time it's kind of sad because I personally feel that the US spends countless taxpayer dollars on ideas that are riddled with flaws. I love that someone created this petition....but creating frivolous petitions take away from important issues that need to be addressed. I think we're fine without a Death Star....the threat we pose to ourselves is much more critical than any interplanetary galactic threat that currently exists....if there was one.
On another note.....if we were to build a Death Star....wouldn't that make us the Empire??? Kinda funny at the results of the Google image search for Darth Obama.
