Actually it's a craft based around an Industry...an Industry that has been created out of a need, due to
1. People invading territories that they have no historical or religious rights in claim to...
Therefore the craft as you call it (Weapons Industry), was developed
1. As a defense mechanism to defend against invaders
2. As a killing mechanism to assist the process of invading
In fact the first swordsmiths were employed by the ruling eliete to provide them with protective mechansims...my question if you are treating people on the planet fairly and justly why would you need weapons. Again, weapons have been utilized when people have been unable to negotiate.
Also as far as the male ego goes, well it probably servers the purpose of filling some inadequace..usually lack of intelligence,
poor communication skills and in some cases it serves as a boost for poor sexual performance...tell me which one is it with you ??
Another thing, when you refer to it as a craft I'm not sure
whether you do so in terms of Role Playing Games, which
again are based around a games industry, again, based on
mythology, and it preserves the "craft" as you put it, in a fairy style manner. But the fact is, that the Fairy story that you like to perpetuate, also creates a real life case senario, where people actually feel they are defending a good cause and will go and draw real weapons, and lets face it, the m-16 or whatever is the latest weapon, it's really just the advancement of a killing mechanism that's evolved in form from the sword to today's prefered killing mechanism...
So in reply why do I bother coming back to this board,.,,I have no idea, because it serves no good purpose that I'm aware of... <p>
