Please explain to me how this is not a threat of physical violence? Funny thing is, even though you tried to spoof the IP (the two comments above come from two entirely different continents!) you accidentally left your real email address on one of them. I’ll be speaking to your faculty adviser.

Take, for instance, H.R. 4205, which states that “It shall be a goal of the Armed Forces to achieve the fielding of unmanned, remotely controlled technology such that (1) by 2010, one-third of the aircraft in the operational deep strike force aircraft fleet are unmanned; and (2) by 2015, one-third of the operational ground combat vehicles are unmanned.”

Obama has done nothing but spur on this kind of legislation and indeed the US military seems well on its way to possessing autonomous hunter-killers, something that sites like “Freethought” Blogs makes me wish would happen sooner.

If one day I should find myself starving to death in the wake of a nuclear winter triggered by angry machines, I’ll die happy knowing that Greg Laden met the same fate.
