A type of rule where a person's role is determined by his background. Castes also have different levels of power.
For example : in ancient Japan, the Tokugawa Dynasty ruled with a caste system, where the samurai were the highest.
Another example : India apparently has a caste system. This means that if you were born of a poor family, you are required (not destined, required) to be that way, and nothing you do will change that. Specifically, if someone was the reincarnation of the Buddha, that person would be the most powerful man in India.
Contrary to the fetish beliefs, capitalism is NOT a caste system. Capitalism does not judge people on their birth, but requires people to work hard if they want to be rich.

"Castes don't work very well....and yet somehow they're effective. I'm stumped. Nevertheless, America should not resort to a caste system; that would be unconstitutional & against the founding principles of this country."

Get the Jimmy Walker mug.A type of weapon that is capable of discharging projectiles at unbelievably high velocities. In this day and age, a railgun is capable of firing a projectile with such velocity because it can use electromagnetism.
Railguns are the future of how nuclear weapons can be launched. Nuclear missiles usually undergo 4 phases, some of which have problems....but with a railgun, there are less required phases, and it's apparently inexpensive! And that's not even the scariest thing.....you know how nuclear missiles are shot down? It's because nuclear missiles burn propellant, and interception technology can pinpoint it, and shoot down the incoming nuke with ease....however, with a railgun, the missile doesn't have to burn any propellant, and therefore it is INVISIBLE!!
Thus, railguns are capable of launching nuclear missiles that can be considered "invisible nuclear missiles"....the thought of that is VERY frightening. And yet, strategic and effective.

"The railgun technology was popularized not just by Quake, but particularly by Metal Gear Solid. Metal Gear Rex, in MGS, has a right arm that is a massive railgun."
