(13,685 posts)We didn't have to invent the terrible weapon. Or, once invented, made sure it was never used and the plans destroyed. This little pale blue dot would turn brown if many of the bombs were used.
Einstein was said to have remarked something like; such power used with the mindset of war and destruction would led us to utter doom.
The doomsday clock is at 11:58 last i heard.
As for the old whiteys, of which i am one, just think back to the day when many of our kind were wanting to turn the Middle East into glass.
And as for pollution, we are to blame. 7 Billion people around the world and our billion have polluted the whole planet. Some of us raised the alarm and we are called all kinds of nasty names and have been claimed to be against capitalism. Do you see the old white people clamoring to clean up our mess, destroy the bombs and live with all the other lifeforms on this pale dot, with equality? Too damn few, that's for sure. We are responsible. To deny that we are is not a sound idea. Agree?
If we are so damn smart, why do we still have these weapons?
