Everyone should just get along and not produce weapons :)
- kragen 6y agoTo the extent that those of us who are making a positive contribution to society can slow down and impede the progress of those who are working to put more and more power in the hands of trained killers with more advanced weapons, we will have a better future with less destructive conflicts. Of course it is better to impede the progress of those whose weapons are pointed at you than the progress of those whose weapons are pointed at them. Eliminating weapons entirely seems unlikely.

I am not strong because I can force others to do what I wish as a result of my play with them, but because I can allow them to do what they wish in the course of my play with them.” ― James P. Carse, Finite and Infinite Games: A Vision of Life as Play and Possibility
- Gibbon1 6y agoTip: If you can't win the peace you're weak no matter how many weapons you have. I'm half a century old. The US hasn't managed to win the peace in my lifetime. Every attempt to impose it's will by force has left it weaker not stronger.
