Plenty Of WMDs For Everyone: Just Add Water?
While everybody moans and groans about Iran and North Korea (and everybody else) developing nuclear weaponry, are there really several existing nuclear devices already occupying ocean floors across the planet?
I'm just asking. You see, back where I come from, radioactivity tends to get people a bit agitated. In terms of dollars spent to hunt them down, high levels of existing radioactivity would win out over nonexistent nukes in a Missouri minute. They must have changed the spending rules since I came to live in California, but it makes a huge difference to me. Now I live right next to all that Pacific ocean water, which is a whole lot closer to me than North Korea or Iran. I knew the ocean was powerful and deep, but I didn't realize just how much power was deep under those waves. Somewhere out there, we have what certain levels of intelligence might crpytically call a situation. Or, maybe a whole lot of situations.
Ivan is bearing down on the Gulf Coast, and it might be a horrible storm, and we might not be able to prevent its destruction. But could we prevent other destruction? A Missourian might say, "Show me." But I live in California now. I've learned a thing or two. And I say, "Show me the money."
