It's amazing that human beings have lasted this long
I was watching a program on JFK last night ... among other things they talked about how close we came to Nuclear War - closer than we knew then, which was pretty damn close (I know this is not knew, in case anyone wants to tell me that is old news.

All the friggin. fail safe close calls during the cold war.

And we still can't keep track of our nuclear weapons.

And now, Israel is ramming humanitarian aid boats, Medved says he is going to send aid to Russians in Gaza. What's going to happen when the Israeli's ram a Russian boat? And Bolton says this is perfect cover for us to invade Iran (20 days is like a lifetime! literally)

And my son in law is sittinf on an airecraft carrier in Virginia. Gawd, let's just stay out of this thing for once!


AAAUUUURRRGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!

1. You are so correct. We have enough on our plate, let them have at it
as they have for lo these many years. They're insane in the ME, they will always be at war and conflict.

3. "And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart" so we
humans were a failed experiment from the start. (Genesis 6:6)

6. What? ... We just get here.
Humans are a 'flash in the pan' compared to many other living creatures on Earth, let alone the rest of the known, visible universe.
