Show SCIENCE LED AS CAPTIVE In ancient times it was customary when conquerors conquer-ors returned from subduing some enemy, for them to take the kings and generals they had captured, and lead them in procession through their home streets, carrying the chains with which they were bound. It was a pitiful sight to see some grand man thus dragged drag-ged through the streets in ignominy. Something of the same kind appears today, when the rulers who start wars make use of grand scientific inventions to create suffering and misery for mankind. Thus products of science invented to produce happiness are used to make people miserable. Science is made a captive, and its noble products are turned into misfortune and destruction. |
