It was a very bad thing. Pandora's box can never be closed again.

Well John, it's quite likely that someone said exactly that when
the very first charge of gunpowder was ignited. And likely again
when the first arrow left it's bowstring...the first club
connected with someone's skull...etc...

Are you sure that wasn't Tarver's skull that it connected with? That might
explain a few things...

Heck, the Pope tried to ban crossbows because they
would "destroy civilization".

Never knew the cross bow was considered to be such a terrible
weapon.

I know the long bow was for a time though.

The armored cavalry types didn't like the idea of being knocked
off their horses on to their tin cans from 80 yards out by mere
peasant folk.

What was the world coming to?

So true, but life has taught me to be a gracious winner. I believe America
can set about the same policy in foreign relations. I do not say that we
"apologise" to the Japanese, as "bad things" can happen to those who come to
our house and blow up our stuff. My friend George's father still hates the
Japanese and another friend, an Arizona survivor, went to his grave the same
way. Hate is also a bad thing.
