there might be good time for guns, and the little town in Maine might be at such a time

the authorities advising folks stay indoors, and I hope the folks have guns indoors, because the usual homes, locked or not, is not going to hiccup the shooter

It's a very common idea C2, that wars are good for the economy.

Since the average IQ is only 100, half of them are below that, so their thinking is ponderous at best. And plenty of smart people are evil bastards who just want opm at any cost to other people, and some of those evil bastards actually enjoy cruelty, torment and suffering of others.

Sometimes they'll argue that it's not the wars but the preparation for war has great spin-offs. Such as ARPANET. My argument is invent good things and there's no need to think of destroying people and things to think of good things.

Four example through my BP Oil days in the 1970s and 1980s I was pushing for basically an internet. BP offered me a job doing just that in 1989. Instead I quit. While wondering what to do next I came up with the idea of CDMA in late 1989 but it was going to be tough for me to get going.

By miracle of luck I happened to meet a Qualcomm man in 1991 and the rest is history. Now we have mobile internet on steroids, at near zero cost. With It aka AI about two take off.

I didn't for a moment think it would be good for war.
