geminixx, the idea that we need a military to support technological advances is rediculous. We don't. To the contrary all that wasted money spent on aircraft carriers and such would be MUCH better spent doing pure technology research. Clearly eliminating war is the biggest challenge, but I would even go as far as to say it's inevitable that we will. It just a matter of how long it takes. A good start would be a revamp of our UN. We need something more reliant on democracy, like this...
