War is absurd. But nevertheless every month somewhere on the globe war is going on. Or they are preparing for the next unfriendly act. No religion did stop that. Maybe some religions gave fuel. And all those engineers too. I would like to have submarines for underwater tourism – not for military demands …

There used to be a cold-war russian sub as a tourist attraction in Victoria’s Harbour – really like being inside a tin can and no vacation for the claustrophobic.
