that make the weapons of war to make or do something more constructive that actually helps the world. If we can redirect the profit making to something like building alternative energy systems that would go a long way toward changing the culture.

Imagine the great projects that could be accomplished. If we built alternative energy, educated and housed everyone! We could desalinate sea water on a massive scale.
