Nuclear Proliferation
 

I'm all for nuclear proliferation. I hope North Korea gets their bombs
working, I hope Iran is successful and I hope that anyone else with the
get-go gets theirs working too. On top of all that I hope one or two of
those things get set off. Since 1945 hundreds of above ground atmospheric
tests have been conducted. The world is still here and thriving. Hiroshima
and Nagasaki are large, productive cities. What blowing off one or two of
these things will do is remove the taboo on the US from ever using them.
Atomic weapons are cost effective solutions to hard to solve problems.
Invading Japan would be a mess - nuke 'em. Iran tries to wipe out Israel -
send them back to the stone age. South Korea can easily be made into an
island.

I would not rule out the chance to preserve a nucleus of human specimens. It
would be quite easy at the bottom of some of our deeper mineshafts. The
radioactivity would never penetrate a mine some thousands of feet deep. And
in a matter of weeks, sufficient improvements in dwelling space could easily
be provided. Nuclear reactors could provide power almost indefinitely.
Greenhouses could maintain plantlife. Animals could be bred and slaughtered.
A quick survey would have to be made of all the available mine sites in the
country. But I would guess dwelling space for several hundred thousands of
our people could easily be provided. It could easily be accomplished with a
computer. And a computer could be set and programmed to accept factors from
youth, health, sexual fertility, intelligence, and a cross section of
necessary skills. Of course it would be absolutely vital that our top
government and military men be included to foster and impart the required
principles of leadership and tradition. Naturally, they would breed
prodigiously. There would be much time, and little to do. But with the
proper breeding techniques and a ratio of say, ten females to each male, I
would guess that they could then work their way back to the present gross
national product within say, twenty years. Also when they go down into the
mine everyone would still be alive. There would be no shocking memories, and
the prevailing emotion will be one of nostalgia for those left behind,
combined with a spirit of bold curiosity for the adventure ahead! Mention
the ration of ten women to each man. Now, wouldn't that necessitate the
abandonment of the so called monogamous sexual relationship, I mean, as far
as men were concerned? Regrettably, yes. But it is, you know, a sacrifice
required for the future of the human race. I hasten to add that since each
man will be required to do prodigious... service along these lines, the
women will have to be selected for their sexual characteristics which will
have to be of a highly stimulating nature.

I'm not worrying - I've learned to love the bomb!

I think I saw that movie.....

There will be some who do not know that Peter Sellers said that, in
"Dr. Strangelove." the world's most important movie.

And, the General was an amazing guy, a sailor, an adventurer, who did movies
for the money and nothing more.

And if you don't use 'em, you'll never know if they're working properly.

You truly have become Dr. Strangelove.

No, the world's most important movie was "Gidget."
