Maybe it&#x27;s harder to rationalize letting a nuke get into the wrong hands. Stuff like this is usually rationalized with something like, &quot;Why should I do the right thing? It doesn&#x27;t help me any, and nobody gets hurt, or at least the people who get hurt are far away.&quot; But even an idiot might pause and think about the possibility that <i>their</i> life might be negatively affected if they end up starting a global thermonuclear war.
