"You make assumptions about what the final results will be" I make well founded inferences. "Lotta good that does you or I." While we have a choice between existence or not, we ought to make it. When we are the rock and the water, the question does not arise... "You use the money to hire Mafia hit men to kill people you don't like" My comment had to do with your revulsion against bribery and illicit activity. I was only pointing out that your attitude was self serving--just like the FRENCH. As part of the superior culture, bribery is (for you, of course) a moral badge! <g> "Too many without them want them and will outvote you" I disagree. They will be outvoted AND outgunned. "None but the dead have seen the end of war." - Plato Good quote! But survival DEMANDS that we contain WMD's. So long as man is rational we may suppose that this NECESSITY for survival will be done. The only thing that could derail this mutual self interest would be a world given totally over to the mystics (such as the 9-11 misfits), where collective insanity and hatred of humanity reigns. At that point there would be nothing worth saving...
