seriously, though, alpha, he has a point. just because something could be bad doesn't mean we shouldn't do it. if we lived like that, the caveman might have never made the wheel (is could run over something!), we wouldn't have electricity (it could fry somebody!) and we sure as hell wouldn't have airplanes, bombs, guns, knives, tanks, etc. we wouldn't have junk food or television either, or telephones. life is full of risks, that's what makes it worth living.
I'm sure that if a loved one of yours (Wife/Husband, Brother, sister, cousin, child, ect) died by frying (accidental) when electricity was first discovered, you'd have complained that it was bad and that something that causes harm can't be good, yet we've had good uses for it.
What about when Kain killed Able? Do you think the mother only blamed god? I'm sure she mocked the stones that did the bash, the ground for slipping his footing, and the blood required to live, because all of these things factor into his death.
The point I'm making is that everything has a good use.

Alot of US Goveners tend to think that allowing it's citizens to carry concealed weapons is a good thing/ok thing. Most crimes in the states that allow concealed weapons are lower then those that aren't. That's because criminals think twice:

1 Criminal: I have a gun, they don't. They could always reach under the counter to grab it, but they need a permit for a weapon, I don't. So I can rob them without worrying too much. Not only that, if I make sure their hands are in the air, I'l be able to see what they're doing!

2 Criminal that thinks twice: I have a gun, someone in the room will probably too. If I check everyone first I'll be able to get their guns. How do I do that?

I'm not elaborating on 1 or 2. You get the idea.

dark messiah, you haven't considered any of my points. You're just spouting the same stuff as last time. If you have something new to add, or believe your point hasn't been conveyed, elaborate more on your meaning/new meaning.
