Losthaven votes FOR this proposal. The measure seems reasonably calculated to foster peace, and our political leaning toward pacifistic measures compels our support. We have reached a point in our evolution where natural selection is no longer a major driving force, given our ability to shape and control our environment. We continue to evolve as social creatures, and we must at some point stop culling ourselves through violence if we are to survive as a species.
We agree, however, that there are conceptual problems with putting such STRONG disarmament restraints on member nations. The concentration of community resources to apply military force toward necessary goals is one of the defining features of a nation, and I do see why the stringent restrictions proposed here are being rejected by many members.
