I just want to make this clear. I hate drones. I hate the use of them, I hate the look of them, I hate the shape of them, and the noise of them, and I think the only thing that is worse than a moron thinking he is billy big nuts because he can launch a missile and wreck an entire apartment complex, is a moron who can do it from a secure location on the ground and feel the same way.
