Very well said! I can not agree that scientists should not have to worry with
morality. Or maybe I do agree? It depends if we were talking about personal
morality or the current morality of the masses. But then how would a person
know the difference? Ah! Irrelevant!
I do agree with your "vaporization" morality. Yes! Next time, two 3ft
cannons with a pair of double vulcan cannons, rocket launchers, beam scythes,
"dragons", a nice Zero System, and a self destruct system to top it all of. I
don't know if Tuboroth or any other of the major engineers in any of the Gundam
universes has "lost it" but I know I have!
Keep these Gundams coming.
