We have nothing against private enterprise making an honest profit for providing a needed service or useful product. But in this case there is no evidence that the product is needed nor is there evidence that it will be useful. Just because something is high-tech doesn’t mean it is good. As Gerald Bracey pointed out, computers have made it possible to do in nano-seconds what shouldn’t be done at all. We are about to waste a gigantic amount of money when it is badly needed elsewhere, and where it can be put to much better use.
