[NTLK] OT: iPad vs. MS Courier: Sound Off

[Ryan]

I guess I will be in the Federation...

As for us destroying ourselves, I don't worry about it. The reason is  
that most everyone does not want to die. It's out of self-preservation  
that we stay sane and don't blow up the planet. Of course there are  
crazy people but I'm not worried...

Thank you,
