  First of all, let me state that I am a new to this posting deal, so I
apoligize in advance for mistakes.  
  
  I mainly wanted to say I thought the paper was good, it brought out a
lot of important points to be thought about.  Unfortunately what is said
is completely true.  The inventors, and main users are military.  This
causes the use to be focused on destruction when it could be used for
much more humanitarian purposes.

  I think Candide said it best though with "In the best of all possible
worlds...", and forgive me if I misquoted.
