Me again ! No, you've depressed me even more :( I cannot stomach a world reduced to nuclear retaliation and/or instant annihilation and/or an unending arms race. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were horrendous events. Millions of innocent people died or are still suffering the consequences. In the end it all boils down to the issue of humanity's inhumanity. The only solution that might, just might work, is that people become ever more conscious of their leaders' madnesses and use every tool within their power to stop the power-hungry race. I think a little of that is beginning to happen, people are getting more involved, opening their eyes just a weeny bit, speaking out... In my country we have silent protests, thousands marching with candles in their hands, picketeers and such. We also "invented" the cooking-pot protest. Buenos Aires becomes a deafening clang clang clang of pots and pans, at certain hours, on certain days, to defy and protest and claim attention from our indifferent, corrupt, stupid politicians. We've now managed to get the Governor of Buenos Aires indicted because of a recent fire in a disco which claimed the lives of around 190 youngsters. The man will be jailed for life. But if people had not crowded out into the streets and scared the pants off the President himself, this guy would still be walking free. A guy who accepted bribes to allow unsafe discos to function... the authorities thought they could just jail the owner of the disco, but we the people thought differently. Well, James, were :offtopic: AGAIN, I believe. All because of some pheasants... I'll get that doorbell. Best, Sylvia
