Distruction of the world $1/2 billion
A few weeks ago I got bored and figured out it costs the US government only around $14 million to build a nuke. So theoretically someone like Warren Buffett (Net worth: $62.0 billion ) or Bill Gates (Net Worth: $58.0 billion) could become a private nuclear power.
But doesnt it bother you that we spent so much money making weapons cheap rather than doing other things? With the money that has been put into the American nuclear program we probably could have a better educational system and lots of other things this country needs more than war.
In fact, it is my belief that without war we probably could have cities (or atleast temporary living quarters) in space, ended hunger, cleaner energy, and we probably could have stuff that you only hear about in sci-fi books, such as augmentations such as implants and magic bullets (idk why they are called magic bullets, but they are devices that are implanted in you and are programed to know your exact structure and they help produce things such as pain killers when you get hurt, chemicals that assist white blood cells in fighting infection, and tailored cures for desease) . :-)
Why so much distruction? Why so much killing? Hate? Fear? Money? Power? Or a combination? We must figure out a way to quell such distructiveness, to make the world better for once.
Comments? Suggestions?
