Mohan thank you for your conisdered and clam reply. No. If the lights go out. Civilization won't perish. Except, of course, in Texas.
I think I must quote the whole last paragraph of the Burns artivcle, typed by me, haltingly.
S.K. Bandopadhaya, Secretary of the Ghandi Trust. "...while our leaders are talking about nuclear bombs as a deliverance..350 million of our people live below the poverty line, nearly 50 percent of our population is illiterate, and 100,000 of our viallges don't even have safe drinking watrer. In the villages of Rajasthan, where they detonated these bombs, many women still walk 10 to 12 miles a day just to fetch water."
Shri Bandopadhaya adds,"...This is the real India, the India that Indians actually live in. And when all thefuss and shouting dies down, they will realize that nuclear bombs do nothing, absolutely nothing to help them."
A group of 100 Indian scientists have signed a protest from institutes and universities in India and abroad about the development of nuclear wespons.
Mohan here in the US we grew up and lived for 50 year with daily threat of nuclear winter. We were riding around in our cut down Chevis and we were wondering if there was a tommrrow. The horror of nuclear war must be averted. In my opinion anyone who thinks these are defensive weapons should quickly, very quickly rush to the nearest dictionary and look up the word defensive.
My very best to you, |
