Ah, yes, greatest technology for empowering the individual equated with
greatest technology for slaughtering the masses ... reminds me of the
first comment I got giving spoken testimony to last year's senate enquiry:

Senator Burns: "You sound like the bloke who invented the Atom Bomb!"

Yes, that's really what he said. Floored me.
