N.
Korea tests an H Bomb that registers on the Richter scale as a 5.1
earthquake (link below.) It may be a lie. Who can assess the truth of
international blather. The more important question of the instant
moment is where is the human race heading?
J. Robert
Oppenheimer, one of the physicists involved in the Manhattan Project,
constructors of the nuclear bomb dropped in 1945 by this nation twice -- once on
Hiroshima and once on Nagasaki obliterating everything in its path and
turning humans who were near ground zero into vapor quoted, after it
was dropped, from the Bhagavad Gita: "Now I become death destroyer of
worlds."
Between global climate change related ad
infinitum catastrophes, eternal war spanning the globe, religious
tyranny's choke hold including in our democratic nation, the hate of
racism polluting our media's message what are the odds our species will
eternally inherit the earth?
I once had a
professor who, in 1968, said he thought the chances of the human species
reaching the turn of the century was zero to nil. When our calendar
reached century 21, I thought his prediction in error. Maybe, though,
he was merely off by a decade or two or three.
Even
though I am religiously secular there are some Biblical quotes that
possess heft which I use in my literary arsenal. "They sow the wind
and reap the whirlwind." Hosea 8:7 is one of them.
WOULD YOU WANT DONALD TRUMPET OR ANY
REPUBLICAN MAKING LIFE AND DEATH DECISIONS ABOUT NUCLEAR WAR? NEITHER
WOULD I. GET OUT THE DEMOCRATIC VOTE IF YOU CARE ABOUT LIFE!
This is a running commentary on contemporary social, political and religious issues.
