[net.politics] Re - A Question on Disarmament

arnold (04/09/83)

      A warhead is composed of many individual parts the most important
      of which is the radioactive component. When we dissarm (wishfull
      thinking) we will destroy the individual parts thus destroying the
      warhead. There is no need to send missiles to Anartica or space.
      The only truely enduring part of the warhead is the radioactive
      elements and we today are developing ways to safely dispose such
      garbage.

      It is scary and will continue to be as long as we let these weapons
      continue to exist. Today we are a nation that is not sure at all of
      a continued existence, a very damaging attitude to have. Damaging 
      in the way of slowing productivity and making much of the population
      very unhappy with the government.

      Some people are dissatisfied with discussing IMPORTANT topics like
      disarment ect... They have expressed the desire to talk about the 
      Beach Boys and what a jerk Watt is. My reply to these people is 
      bullcookies (bic lighter on). If you want to read about such important
      political and philosophical issues read People magazine or the
      Enquirer ect.... Just because and issue is rehashed and has not been
      resolved for a while doesn't mean that it doesn't warrent thoughtful
      discussion. The only way to solve a problem is to adress it. (bic off)

      Come on people, I'm not asking you to run for president just to
      think about important issues that will effect your life and your
      kid's lives. After such carefull consideration post your ideas, not
      to be criticized but to be discussed. It seems like spinning your 
      wheels on ice but if one person thinks about what you said then you
      have accomplished something.
