I used to admire Winston Churchill until I read about him being a proponent for the use of chemical weapons.
'I do not understand this squeamishness about the use of gas. I am strongly in favour of using [it] against uncivilised tribes.' Winston Churchill, Secretary of State, British War Office, 1919, authorising use of chemical weapons against Iraqis.. in the first of 6 invasions of Iraq by agents of Anglo Iranian Oil (British Petroleum) in the last 100 years.

Perhaps then you should invent the perfect defensive weapon for usage when faced by hoards of aggressive humans advancing toward your position with the intent of killing you. You will have a choice. To utilize your invention or risk dieing with your friends-if you don't run. I also am a proponent of gas. This gas would immediately knock your enemy down. You would have about 8 hours before they wake up. During those 8 hours you could take their weapons and clothing and make plans for the big group hug party.

I would also like to share with you another Churchill quote: "I like pigs. Dogs look up to us, cats look down at us-pigs treat us as equals"

I need a little more background here. Not that I especially admire nor trust politicians, but I do need a reason for Churchill wanting to tactically kill civilians. The first half of the 20th century...glad I almost missed it. The second half wasn't so hot either. What a world...I will miss it immensely.
