All weapons development should halt for the sake of the possibility of their use against us? Good idea.
You're putting words into my mouth to construct a straw-man. Not a good idea. I'm simply pointing out that there is reason not to be "stoked." Between drones, government control of communications, and weapons like these, the idea that the people can take on the tyrants is under stress. That means we must compensate. To fail to point that out is stupid. To criticize it is worse.
Are you stupid? Or worse?
I completely agree.
America does in fact need to pay attention to our government, but it beats the heck out of all of its competitors everywhere in the world.
Even as currently, occupied by Obama.
Technology always advances. Either it advances by us driving the advance.
Or it advances by our opponents driving the advance.
Always.
That said, bring back American jobs.
