That is really cool!
I just find it really sad that labs invest so much to do this and always break ground when it comes to killing someone, but for green energy or green jobs, not so much.

Dont worry I will give my opinion anyways.

Sad but true. My concern is less about a more satisfying life and more about more new jobs for the future. *Eventually we will run out of willing combatants to kill too.

I did see, for the first time last night, two episodes of Bomb Squad in Afghanistan on G4 tv last night where these guided .50 cals would have been perfect and very useful though.

Something like that will probably save a lot of lives. Think of all the unnecessary conflicts or wars that could be ended with just one bullet. You could kill a would be target with one impossible shot you couldn't guard against and you probably never even find the guy who did it. Not only that but the guy controlling the shot could be in a whole different region or country via satellite.
Honestly some people just need to die.

No I dont but I also dont think theirs not bad guys on our side that need dying too.
Sometimes the good guy gets shot to avoid an all out war. Such is life.

not sure about THIS particular thing.. but a large % of the things people use and take for granted these days were originally developed as part of military-related research. And really.. who is to say that the tech involved in these bullets wont have applications that will indeed do a lot to improve the average person's way of life.
