But I digress. I think it's more of our use of things become more extended, we have always been capable of atomic weaponry or anything else really, it's just a matter of us realizing the potential. Oh, and if the supplies can be obtained.

Ah. I see. I just thought because you made the reference to Cableguy, you meant you remembered the Jim Carrey quote.

I think you're right. If you have something, there is always the temptation to use it, or the feeling that use is a necessity when "nothing else works." While I neither condone nor believe that violence solves anything, it's a vicious cycle. In the example Burter use about guns not being useless, because somebody else has one and will use it, it prompts others to defend themselves using the same weapon. We've integrated them into our society, making them almost a requirement to keep par with the technology. After all, you wouldn't use a club to defend against a bullet, would you? Like I said, it's just a means of employed attack/defense, since the only things we naturally have are strength, limited flexibility, and opposable thumbs, and we're not satisfied with those.

What I think we're really talking about is collecting, though. I don't see the harm in that. I myself wouldn't mind owning a few swords and stuff.
