disgraceful to see fellow entrepreneurs and coders working to kill other humans. hope your parents are as "patriotic" as you when they watch CIA drones kill children and women for oil.

You should do a little research into how this whole energy/technology/computing/internet stuff came to being.

Steve Blank gives a good talk about the "Secret History of Silicon Valley" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTC_RxWN_xo

You'll note that at the end he kind of says "but everything got better and we're all driven solely by the capital markets and they know best - don't worry be happy! Pay no attention to the g-men behind the cur.."

Very informative video. Thanks for sharing!
You say that like you haven't helped kill humans too, through your purchases and therefore implicit support of companies who help do this.

Your very use of this website is evidence to your hypocrisy.
