One More Point

Date: Sunday, April 21, 2024 7:05 AM EDT

I am still frustrated and angry that people are having difficulty envisioning World Peace for real.  People seem to think less of world peace today than they did even in the 1940s when a lot of people were talking about world peace.  And that is a shame.  I remember a time in the sixties when President Kennedy talked about world peace.  But today?  Nada.  Nothing.  Except one small voice reaching out to about fifteen people on a blog site within the confines of a small "financial blog and article" website.  And that is fucking nuts!

Oh well, that is beside the point.  What i want to do with this post is to talk a little about how to begin "celebrating world peace". 

As you all know, i am proposing that world peace should begin with all the world's fleet ballistic missile submarines are called into port.  Choreograph it over a week's period of time.  Look, these submarines have played an important role for the last sixty-five years in assuring world peace to a degree.  As ironic as it is, it's these submarines that were the front-line defense in avoiding "world wars".  There are about fifty of these missile carrying submarines worldwide.

So, I say, make a big "hoopla celebration" every time one of these submarines comes into port.  I don't care from what nation.  Those submarines and those submariners should be appropriately recognized for their "highly unrecognized duty" in protecting their nation.  Sixty-five fucking years these submarines have been used as the major deterrent to nuclear war.  And it's time to turn those war machines into scientific laboratories exploring the mysteries of the sea--somewhat like turning your swords into plowshares.  

Today as well as yesterday, nuclear war makes no sense.  The difference between today and yesterday, however is this.  Today, minor wars do not make any sense because the United States, by themselves, will determine the outcome.

And that is why it is time for "all nations to sue for peace at the same time"!

Now tell me what is so hard about that?

All good points.

I think in the 40's people saw the horrors of a truly world war, and also the damage the atomic bombs caused.  World Peace seemed like the only option.  Yet here we are, 80 years later, still fighting the same old battles.

I think there is so much violence in the world, that we've all become desensitized to it.  Stopped caring. It's sad.
