A loaded revolver...


"True peace is based on mutual confidence, while these huge armaments show open and utter lack of confidence, if not concealed hostility, between states. What should we say of a man who, wanting to show his friendly feelings for his neighbor, should invite him to discuss thier differences with a loaded revolver in his hand?" -Leo Tolstoy, chapter 5, pg. 115 from "The Kingdom of God is Within You"
