Mostly, ultimately, they are wars waged on innocent/peaceful people.

Though the third point may be too gracious: I’m not sure I’d call those consequences “accidental” when the risks to innocents are calculated beforehand and deemed acceptable collateral damage. Truly: most who suffer are innocent. A full 25% of people in jail - not just among drug-related offenses, but overall - are there for non-violent drug possession - which is a higher percentage than those who committed violent drug-related crimes. And for every terrorist killed by drones, 50 civilians are killed. Fifty-to-one. How can it be an “accident” when it’s the most typical outcome?

Edison was such a dick.  I knew a lot of this but not all of it…very interesting.

Yes, this belongs in politics…. because the political systems of the world should SUPPORT and NOURISH minds like Tesla.. that would finally be TRUE FUCKING PROGRESS!!!!
