"Thou Shall Not Kill Anyone" is a short essay by Karl Jones.
Thou Shall Not Kill Anyone

"Thou shall not kill" must become "thou shall not kill anyone" — while we still have time to save the world.
Not to be too dramatic, we have centuries with luck. But what are centuries to a boy who watches "Powers of Ten" and learns that "matter can neither be created nor destroyed" and dreams of playing hide-and-seek among the stars?
