5. By all means stay away from gun makers

Probably a good idea to avoid stocks like Raytheon since they make weapons used mostly to kill brown people in other countries. The same for General Atomics, they make a number of UAVs. Add to the list all the typicals like Lockheed, Boeing, General Electric, General Dynamics, Northrup Grumann...

Might also be a good idea to avoid having any public utilities from buying buses from AM General since they make HMMWVs and to also avoid investing in their owners Renco Group and MacAndrews & Forbes. HMMWVs are often outfitted with M249 SAWs and that's just downright unfriendly.

Stay away from the banks that make loans or extend credit to these places since your just dealing in blood money. Don't buy diamonds or invest in mining them or invest in companies that lend to them.

Just don't get me started on Microsoft and what DoD uses some of their products to do.
