Back in March, I posted 5 Reasons I Hate the 'Robot Apocalypse' Trope, which has come up in the news again, thanks to the U.N. deciding to preemptively ban autonomous killing drones.

But this morning, as a clip from The Terminator's score played on a radio news program, I thought: "What if the robots become self-aware, and decide to be Conscientious Objectors?"

Oh man. This has the making of a wonderful ficlet and if I was more adept at writing robots, I'd so give it a whirl. I still might try, if you don't mind of course.

Be my guest! I have a feeling, with your penchant for social protest through fiction, that your robots would be closer to Karel Čapek's original intent...

I love that idea!

I was thinking of the old peacenik saying from my days of yore:

"What if they held a war ... and no one came?" :D
