I think its pretty funny that the U.S. tries to act like it is the authority on who should or shouldn't have nuclear weapons when it is the only country who has ever used a nuclear weapon on another country. And two of them at that! We even sort of offered under the table some nukes to France during the Vietnam War era in kind of a wink, wink, nudge, nudge, say no more kind of way.

And I also think it is funny that some of the same people who are saying that other countries should have no nukes or less nukes are also advocating that the U.S. increase its nuclear arsenal.

Its this kind of talk that makes the rest of the world think we are hypocrites.

So you think it's funny that people think that mentally unstable people prone to sporadic violent rage shoudn't be aloud to have metal forks and knives but that everyone else should be able to?

You do realize this is the equivlent to what you're argueing right?

 

 

Has any other country used a nuclear weapon?  Even Russia, headed by one of the most insane people to ever live, Joseph Stalin, didn't use one.  I guess Stalin had a bit more self-restraint than U.S. leaders.

And I would like for you to explain to me how the U.S. is not prone to "sporadic and violent rage."

 



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.
