Today
The world is interesting and still may have some hope:
There’s been news recently that a lot of people have most likely heard about. Our president is going to talk with the Russian Prime Minister, Dmitry Medvedev, about reduction of nuclear arms in both our own country and in Russia. This is a huge progression since the Cold War ended so long ago. Although, I think that as the generations continued to grow up, we just all forgot about that disagreement. I know that I certainly don’t care about some butthurt leader holding a grudge from a war that took place decades ago.
If you think about it, a nuclear weapon would not be beneficial to anyone, even the country that launched it. Its like if you and your friends were playing basketball and in order to prevent the other team from winning, one team decided to tear down the other teams goal. The entire integrity of the game would be lost, and you would not have proved your superiority at all. I’m not saying that everyone who “wins” a war is right (after all, Hitler was theoretically “winning” WWII for a while), but if you are just going to destroy everything including the Earth itself, you should really go fuck yourself right off.
No one should have to be anxious or scared about a nuclear attack. Imagine walking to your next class that you’re late for. Your in a hurry and trying to remember if you had a written assignment for Earth Science that you certainly did not do because it was obviously busy work designed by your teacher to prove that she is at least doing something (besides talking about what rocks are made of). You run into a friend, who delays your trip to class even further, but just as you say “Last night I was balls deep in this… ,” a wall of air hits you and seconds later, your body is literally incinerated. And that’s the end.
In that split second, would you be thinking, “oh yea, (fill in leader’s name) of (fill in country) was right?” Probably not.
I do not claim to be an expert on war or anything. These are just some random thoughts in my head that have accumulated since I read this news about Obama meeting Medvedev earlier.
My Earth Science teacher is talking about… just a second… oh yes, clay and sand blocking the flow of water. I’m thinking about a nuclear attack. Danny is reading people’s twitter (or just masking the porn screen he actually has up on his new Macbook).
