You will not convince me that making weapons and selling them to other countries so they can blow each other away is an OK accepted practice. It never will be for me, ever. I don't believe that is what makes the world go around. Its not OK becuase every country is doing it. Every country is wrong.

I live my life with a clear conscience...
