43% of global arms trade is from US

If you could un-invent something, what would it be?

Some of you lovely bloggers today have said that univenting algorithms would be a good idea. I concede, they certainly mess with people’s heads.

  1. Thunderdome is better than modern warfare. No drones, no press conferences, no endless debates on cable news. Just step in the cage, deal with the problem, and walk out done. Brutal, efficient, honest. Compared to today’s nonsense, it’s basically conflict resolution with a spine.
