I guess it missed as predicted.

Nothing happened. Right on schedule.

what about the ones we just find a day before or too late and they just hit ?

I hate doom and gloom but we aren't prepared for what we don't know.

Yup. They are worrisome.

What about the other 300+ this year (in the US alone)?

What about the 2,200 last year?

On a long enough time scale though, someone will eventually be right when they say "IT'S HAPPENING!"

Unfortunately for them, they won't be around to receive the applause for being right, and you won't be around to be lambasted for being wrong.

It's win win for you really.

What scares me is that no government cares enough to allocate the appropriate resources for both detecting them and destroying them. What good is detection if you have no defense system in place? It is like a ground radar system(called early detection system in the af) without the surface to air missles to shoot down planes.

I don't know. Maybe I am becoming dense or expect too much from our 3000 year old civiliation. You would think since we have perfected computers, sent up satelites, developed nukes, developed high energy lasers and even plasma weapons SOMETHING would be orbiting the sky just for defense against any space threat.
