So having made you think about war, I think I'll extrapolate a question from various answers. So these technological (et al.) advances that war helps us to make... why do we need the war part? I mean technically we don't but we're a hell of a lot slower to get it done without it. Are we just hardwired to be spurred to greater heights by the _need_ to blow people up faster?
The more I ask questions like this the more convinced I am that the human race is a big fat waste of oxygen!
Catherine won't be doing war related topics next week, so look forward to genealogy, who gives a crap? Or maybe I can manage to think for myself.
