Jane Says

Henry David Thoreau was famously jailed for tax resistance as a friend of the Mexican War he was not. He would go on to write his essay "Civil Disobedience". This, in turn, influenced Martin Luther King, Jr. to write, "I became convinced that noncooperation with evil is as much a moral obligation as is cooperation with good."

If you happen to be serious about such ideas or, even if you're not, please consider that a projection from Jane's Defence Industry says that within 1 year, the United States' defense budget will equal those of the rest of the world combined. We're getting into Carl Sagan territory here, people. Billions and billions...

So don't forget all of you defense contractors out there, get your bids in early and often.
