    But we aren't the same. Each person is a unique individual. Some of these individuals are worthless scum who most certainly do not deserve an equal share of the world wealth.

    And its possible that all wars are subconsciously fought over resource distribution whether we realize it or not.
    You have a lot of work to do to prove that.

    But despite our differences we have a system of government, education, and mutual understanding that gives us alternatives to shooting each other.
    I don't think I'm having a problem understanding the terrorists.
    "Above all, we must realize that no arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women. It is a weapon our adversaries in today's world do not have."

    In governments like ours, all motivations are represented.

    I agree completely with this Administration’s goal of a regime change in Iraq-John Kerry
    even if that enforcement is mostly at the hands of the United States, a right we retain even if the Security Council fails to act-John Kerry
    He may even miscalculate and slide these weapons off to terrorist groups to invite them to be a surrogate to use them against the United States. It’s the miscalculation that poses the greatest threat-John Kerry

    The number could be 10 times higher in particular configurations of the accelerator. This sounds a lot, but expressed in grams it is a billionth of a gram in a year."

    alright.... its a bit of a slow start

    Yep. Antimatter would cost about $10 trillion a gram, at today's prices.

    One gram has the energy to put 22 Space Shuttles into orbit, roughly speaking.

    Pound for pound, antimatter bombs would be about 100 times as powerful as convention nuclear weapons. Conventional nuclear weapons convert about 1% of their fuel mass into energy. For antimatter, the conversion is 200%: 100% of the antimatter plus 100% of the ordinary matter it reacts with.

    why, oh, why ...

    Having been rather busy of late, I return to find that folk posting on this thread have not even displayed the good manners to actually read the bloody book recomended. Go on you ****s it's in fairly large print. Which at this point I am assuming can only be of help.
    Where's the bloody gin? An army marches on its liver, not its ruddy stomach.
