- ... played that game again, it was to real to be true. The concerns that arose from this book were: what if it was really possible to split the good and the bad, how would the world be? Would the bad be killing the good or the other way around? Would the society turn all bad and have nothing but hatred in this world? That is how I sometimes feel when I see the hatred going on in our society? Why can't we just get along with each other. It wouldn't be that hard. If there wouldn't be any racism around I estimate that there would be about 30% less hatred in this world .

- 8410: The Springfield Armory
- ... for a smaller cost. In the period of time before the Civil War, massive advances in technology took place. In the 1840s, the unreliable flintlock muskets were replaced by to percussion ignition muskets. This new ignition system was much more reliable than the flintlock. The percussion ignition system also led to more simplicity in the construction of muskets. What also made this change easier was the new concept of interchangeable parts. The concept was that all of the parts in one musket would be exactly the same as the parts in another musket of the same version. This made repairs to muskets much easier on the battlefield. Now there could be spare parts in storage to be ready to be used instead of needing to make a new part that needed to be custom fit. The use of interchangeable parts also demanded advances in machinery to build these parts. Interchangeable parts also paved the way for quality control. If the parts were ...
