"There is something that we, as computer scientists, can do to slow down
the technology of death, and to voice our protest.  We can refuse research
funding from the military (e.g., ARPA)."

Right on, Jim!   But wait until you see the stream of rationalizations
that come streaming in from all the nuke researchers and military
software engineers.  Reminds me of a line from the recent film, "The
Big Chill".  One character suggests that rationalizations are more important
than sex.  "Ever try to go a week without a rationalization?" he asks.
What about it, military researchers?  Ever try that?
