re: #386 boxhead

There was a great 50’s sci-fi movie in which aliens who wanted our planet gave each of our government blocs little capsules with topo coordinate inputs. When activated, the capsule vanished and killed all humans within x,000 square miles of the target. The climax came when a scientist discovered the aliens had a moral streak, and that Mode 2 settings only killed the assholes within the effect radius. In the end the surviving non-assholes invited the non-asshole aliens to visit.
