"Here, then, is the problem which we present to you, stark and dreadful and inescapable: shall we put an end to the human race or shall mankind renounce war? We appeal, as human beings to human beings; remember your humanity, and forget the rest. If youc an do so, the way lies open to a new paradise; if you cannot, there lies before you teh risk of universal death." - as taken from "a document which most of the inventors of H-bomb signed" and then sent to all world powers.
Rest assured that there are intelligent people in the scientific community, Mr. Lindsey. Hypocracy has never fueled a logical argument.
Meanwhile, my list of to-read books continue to grow. Visited local library yesterday and can reduce list by one sometimes next week. (Yes, it really is that pathetic.) Three pages of bad fiction and ten pages of co-written play and some forty page left to read for now(out of original of about two hundred). Feel v. accomplished.
More quote for your amusement:
Souls Of All the People Persecuted On Behalf of God: Holy, faithful Master, how much longer will you wait before you pass sentence and take vengeance for our death on the inhabitants of the earth?
Michael: [He points at Gabriel.] He is the one you seek, for he is the Messenger of your faithful Master.
Gabriel: [Aside to Michael.] Thanks, O brave defender of God... [He looks at the souls.] O, my holy ones, my little crumpets--you must wait longer! [Aside] The roll is not yet complete thanks to Jacques over at the office. [To the souls] Your fellow peers, servants and brothers have not yet perished in the necessary struggle! But here, whilst you wait, take these robes, for they are soft and comfortable, and for a time and two times and half a time they will keep you in faith! Have patience!
Gabriel sounds British by accident (not mine either!) so that's MY new source of amusement today.
