[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 5777851, member: 4937"] Destruction is far easier than creation. Sure. But if you wanted a printer, scanner, fax, you wouldn't want to buy a scanner and then build the printer and fax out of a half gallon of spent moter oil, some spare copper wire and some beach sand. Technically, I'm sure you could make a printer and fax with little more than raw materials, but would you want to? Sure, but if you did want a supreme pizza, you wouldn't want to grow the olives, onions, and peppers for it, raise a pig, harvest them, make sausage, order a pepperonni pizza, and develop a process for flash cooking the other ingredients in a way that they could be integrated with the already cooked pepperoni pizza. Picking everything off, distasteful though it may be, is a comparitively easy arrangement. Errr.... If you say so. [/QUOTE]
