it is also question of what you consider acceptable. And there is usually some social consensus (lobotomies/carpet bombing of cities acceptable) and few individuals who say "no, it's NOT". I guess I am the second group. I don't think that because things are done "so" makes them okay. And no, I am not talking of need to develop better drugs (or even better drones). I am talking about how far we are willing to go. What we think is okay. How should we treat collateral damage. How we should look at humans.

And yes, the current system sucks, no matter how many great doctors and good-hearted politicians are there... and it can be changed, just like slavery could be changed, how fascism and communism fell... or how we no longer lobotomize and lock up people. But it comes to what one is willing to tolerate. People willing to take too much crap, because it's the best there is... they broke the world, few times over.
