In Starcraft, it wouldn't make sense for, say, the SCV to repair itself because it would have to weld itself back together using what is basically a boom arm. And the probe just shoots lightning in front of it and stuff happens. Maybe it's beam cannon thing can only shoot straight forwards, in which case it would have to exist in two places simultaneously to work. And medics shouldn't be able to heal themselves because people only operate on themselves in movies like Ronin [OK, Robert DeNiro only helped operate on himself in this, but the point remains the same.]
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -- Theodore Roosevelt (1918)
"The danger to political dissent is acute where the Government attempts to act under so vague a concept as the power to protect "domestic security." Given the difficulty of defining the domestic security interest, the danger of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes apparent. --U.S. Supreme Court decision (407 U.S. 297 (1972)
