concrete evidence that i ain't all that crazy...

i attended a Friends school for about 3 years as a kid. somewhere about my 2nd year of school, i became familiar w/Hiroshima & Nagasaki. i'd say i grew up like most kids in the U.S. during the 70's: Vietnam vets got treated like shit, most hippies were synonymous w/addicts, the civil rights movement was successful, etc. since Vietnam was supposedly on some bullshit, all you ever really heard about was WWI & II, Korea wasn't really mentioned either. we thought cops & robbers, cowboys & Indians, and war games were cool as shit.

understanding the true purpose of weaponry, & correspondingly the true power of nuclear arms, makes that shit not so cool anymore. i did not develop my respect & distaste for guns until the last 10 years or so, but nuclear weapons have always been foolishly useless to me. Like most other human developments in weaponry, guns are a tool to resolve human conflict by ultimate threat of permanent removal.

nukes are like unnecessary drama. we're going beyond the ultimate threat of permanent removal w/nukes. would i use mace, a gun, a stun gun, etc. if i thought it was going to fuck me up in the process? hells no. this is clear logically, yet various human organizations recognized as governments have deemed it sensible to perpetuate the era of nuclear weaponry. if that's not crazy as shit, then i'm far more fucked up than what even i can admit.

it isn't a threat when you too have to die when your bluff is called. humans do not respond well to radioactive elements in the environment. i believe Hiroshima & Nagasaki were 1 megaton devices. the modern weaponry tends to be multiple megatons. WTF!

there's does not seem to be such a thing as group counseling for a group of humans so large as to believe this is not insanity.

make like violence is a truly viable means of resolving human conflict...

PEACE
...be calm...
