Sometimes within the Circle of the Nuclear Weapons Abolition Movement, it may seem as if we are unheard voices crying in the wilderness. Expressions of moral outrage shouted into the eye of an indifferent media hurricane.
Take heart! The Circle of Abolition is growing, expanding outward. More and more concerned, sensible people are taking that first step into the Circle. Thanks to Anti-Nuke Activists and a volatile election campaign, Nukes Are In The News.
And back on the minds of an ever-increasing number of concerned citizens both here and abroad.
Citizens concerned and worried about such a deadly concentration of power in one individual's hands.
In our August 15, 2016, Post we linked to the NYTS editorial regarding "A Nuclear Legacy Within Reach" for President Obama. That same date, the Times printed five letters to the editor all expressing great concern over the Nuclear Weapons threat to all of us everywhere:
IRA HELFAND,Co-President of International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War: referring to our survival against the odds thus far - "a string of incredible good luck that will not last forever", "these weapons are the greatest threat to our security and must be banned and abolished."
(Ira Helfand with former Sec of Defense William Perry)
LISBET GRONLUND, Union of Concerned Scientists:
"Regardless of who is in the Oval Office, the process is not designed to be the careful, deliberative one you would want for the biggest decision in history."
CLICK for LETTERS
Point taken. But our GOAL is to arrive at the point that such a decision will never have to be made.
The alternative is to hope that nothing will ever happen forever.
Sounds like a fairy tale? IT IS!
ABOLITION IN OUR TIME. BEFORE WE ARE OUT OF TIME
