Notes and topics

"My position is not quite as you put it. The deterrent is the most immediate source for a nuclear war. Rockets cover the planet poised on a hair trigger. The radar on which they rely is incapable of distinguishing natural phenomena from missiles. Governments are basing their policies on a willingness to exterminate human beings in their hundreds of millions. It is not a decent way to live. That is the core of my position."
