Drone Off--an introduction

There are probably very few people in the world who need to start a new blog less than I do, but the truth is, I've been thinking about doing this one for awhile. Tonight, I saw a good piece on drones on the Rachel Maddow show and though it turns out that I can't link to it yet, it kind of pushed me over some line of indecision about this. I'll get it up here soon, but one of the startling statistics it presented revealed that most of the world is against drones and the majority of America is for them. Call me an internationalist then, because those things creep me out. A lifetime of science fiction movies should have convinced people of my central tenet here: drones are not our friends. Here are a couple of Danger Room links to get us started.

Feel free to comment, and dissenting views are welcome, but if you're mean to other people here, I shall use my dronelike capacity to delete you.
