    Why would they be protecting dry lake beds?

      That's a good question! But they don't like it when you ask.

        Do they hate it when you answer?

          They can neither confirm nor deny that, haha.

            They aren't protecting dry lakebeds but they are protecting uninhabited mountainous wastelands from relatively small amounts of absurdly heavily contained nuclear fuel.
            If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

                Since when does a mere monopoly by legislative fiat, however profitable it may be, = a "subsidy"? What tax dollars go into it other than basic PTO administration and courts' overseeing litigation against violators?
                Unbelievable!

                        Groom Lake, AKA Area 51, is just a place they test new jets and missiles. That's why they keep people away.

                          I saw several buildings which had been hit by JDAMs in Iraq and can confirm that those things are indeed very precise and in fact do blow the **** out of even hardened concrete & steel structures.

                              I thought we just saw that when the government forces you to buy something that it is a tax like any other?

                              Government forcing you to buy health care = tax/etc.

                              Government forcing you to buy the expensive pills = tax/etc.

                                Yeah, that's the story. But then why aren't their spooky stories about all the other testing facilities? Area 51 is a little more top secret and the government won't tell us why.
