Some wisdom from good old Ike Eisenhower:

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some fifty miles of concrete pavement. We pay for a single fighter plane with a half million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people. This is, I repeat, the best way of life to be found on the road the world has been taking. This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron."

Just a little pre-weekend stuff to make you think.

I have no words...

Political activists planning protest rallies at the upcoming Democratic Convention in Denver have their stomachs in knots over a rumor about a crowd control weapon - known as the “crap cannon” - that might be unleashed against them.

Is this what we've become? Is it? I'm not just trying to post "Fox News more like Faux News LOL!" here, these idiots are supposed to be the Fourth Estate. Our shield against tyranny.

My brain just broke.

update: Wisdom from Awful Forums poster mofolotopo:

actually it would be really fun to just go there with some huge speakers and play a really low note to see how many of them shit themselves because of the placebo effect
