"And?"
So who else in the whole universe has done this, does it Benefit poverty,(I could do with splitting a few quid), how on a whole does this better humanity. Lifting that lid of that box, and then that box, make sure you put lids on probley.
Sorry the earths delicate know.
There's only one Instance where it's been beneficial nuclear power and where they is an angel a demon will appear (Nuclear weapons)

I prefer knowledge to angels and demons. |

Ethics make this a very messy topic but i agree that any/all knowledge is beneficial in some way. |
