Why is it that human energy and ingenuity is so easy to engage for the purpose of war? Why does war inspire so easily?
In a word, survival.
And things like growing food, educating children, healing people, building houses, etc. is about something other than survival? If these things got as much ingenuity poured into them (Libya imports everything, even on a good day) as this war stuff has, Libya probably wouldn’t have had a Gadaffi to begin with.
Make: Online has a “be nice” commenting policy
But where is the policy about placing content? Isn’t there a code of conduct saying that posts about “human degut tools” or “a brain blowout tools” should not be placed?
Please do not remove this comment, remove the entire post!!
I’m disappointed in Make.

Necessity is the mother of invention. Note to self: Put even more remote surveillance equipment on the ol’ parts shelf.
