Beware What They Invent   

     The Mrs. is probably weary of my occasional statement: "Everything we invent can be used against us." But, she doesn't deny it. 

     Steam, cameras, radio, phones, railroad trains and print can be used in mischief. Magnets, wrist watches, glue, boats, rope? 

     Airplanes. No debate there. They were first used in World War I, and most hideous was the attack on civilians on 9/11.

     Worldwide web, computers, electric lights, motorized vehicles and steel all can be used to destroy or kill somebody or some thing.

     The printing press, internet, wheels, pens, knives, scissors, guns, baseball bats, bricks and social media come to mind. Electricity was discovered, not invented, but inventions using electric power can make trouble. 

     Nuclear bombs. No debate there. 

     Satellites. If not yet, the day will come. 

     If you can think of a wonderful invention that no one can turn against mankind... 

     Let's love our Savior, not so much our toys.
