#7 If Pablo stopped holding wages down, a robotic lettuce picker would be in development, or would have been developed, paving the way for lower cost military robots. Low wage labor hurts the country in many ways.

#8 What they really need is to hold a competition for teenagers with Lego Mindstorms Systems for robots with military applications. I'm sure the kids can come up with something good.
