A desire for resources is exactly the starting point of every war. If you have a problem with war, do something useful with that thought. The act of using scrap material for the design of something that is reproduced is symbolic. The critique on war is symbolic. Joep, you have the ability to reach many and make projects of a reasonably large magnitude. Please, don't be so lazy. And don't make crappy Maarten van severen copies either.

Is it appropriate to promote killing humans in order to have low gasoline prices or to sell computer games or movietickets?
