Hi Mq: >>If something is good to invent, the best way to do it is work directly on the idea and develop the benefits, not work on something destructive then try to switch the technology to something actually useful.<< Great idea. Now we just need to find a way to vote this kind of approach into power. First step: J6P, look closer at the looming deficits. And double-check your vote this autumn to avoid chad effects/misunderstandings (ng).

Hi Maurice, If something is good to invent, the best way to do it is work directly on the idea and develop the benefits, not work on something destructive then try to switch the technology to something actually useful. Actually, inventions coming from the military segment of our societies has much more to do with available funding than with any intent to use an invention for destruction. R&D and development of most every modern day invention is quite expensive. There simply isn't enough capital in the private sector to fund all inventions. The various armies of the world are interested though, because any new invention could potentially have use as a weapon. So the military has great desire to be in the forefront of new inventions, so that they're not taken by surprise and left defenseless by new or advanced weaponry. It's more of a defensive thing, than something intended to be used offensively. Unfortunately though, too often defensive weapons become offensive weapons, and that often leads to destruction. KJC
