But it would be just about as wise for me to lobby for the repeal of this law as it would be to throw myself in front of a speeding truck in an attempt to stop it.

Technology is masculine wisdom.
What we are lacking is feminine wisdom. One should only destroy where something better can be built instead. Our masculine society brought us to the point where we today, are approaching the limits of this planet's ability to withstand further stress. A destruction potential exists in the realm of military technology that could blow up our world not only once, but several times over. Woman, who was greatly revered as the giver of life at the dawn of human history and to whom we owe the great early cultural achievements, has found herself increasingly dependent on man and on the male culture now in place.
