oh, no!!!! :)


and the same technology that destroy Nagasaka and Hiroshima cured cancers
in thousands of people and powered submarines that deterred war for many
years. same same problem of morality that Alfred Nobel had with his invention:

safe enough for near-idiots to handle. he felt so bad about the military use
of the stuff that he set up the Peace Prize and all that stuff.
