The atomic bomb is good example of what I'm talking about. The reason we haven't had a world war in 80 years is the atomic bomb. Far from being an instrument of misery, it's given us an age of unprecedented peace and prosperity. Plus, all the anti-nuclear activism in the world hasn't come one step closer to banishing nuclear weapons from the earth.

In my personal philosophy, it is never bad to develop a new technology.
