Lao-tzu

This is what Lao-tzu taught so long ago: The more weapons of violence, the more misery to mankind. I ask you ladies and gentlemen...Who today profits from the making and selling of all those weapons?

I recently read something that Gandhi said that makes me wonder about the male species and armaments. Do the two go hand in hand? "Must man always be brute first and man after, if at all."
