Downsides Of Drones

• Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.
• Drones are just a high tech version of leaving a time bomb to go off in a public place. They kill civilians indiscriminately.
• To the killer, he is just playing a video game. There is no remorse.
• There is no risk in killing others. There is nothing to limit use of the weapons.
• Drones are conjuring up a impotent fury that will last for centuries in many parts of the world. Eventually their descendants will find a way to wreck horrible pent-up revenge.
• They are cowardly. The soldiers are fat pimply-faced boys who live with their mothers, who got their start torturing kittens.
• Consider Plato’s myth of Gyges.
