Re: Um...Really? Nobel Prize?
There was an interesting article in Time recently about how having nuclear weapons actually increases peace. I can't agree fully, but it made some interesting points.Dr. Medulla wrote:I can't remember who said it, but in response to hearing that the MX missile was being called the Peacekeeper, someone asked, "Are they armed with peaceheads?"Spiff wrote:Two more words:Dr. Medulla wrote:Two more: Henry KissingerSpiff wrote:Two words:Rat Patrol wrote:The Peace prize was devalued to junk-bond status after Arafat and Rabin split it, anyway.

Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Re: Um...Really? Nobel Prize?
I saw someone make a reference to, I presume, that article the other day—more widespread nukes means no one goes all in. All it takes is for one nutjob or one accident to set off a chain reaction of catastrophe. It's an argument predicated on 100% rational participants in full control of the technology.matedog wrote:There was an interesting article in Time recently about how having nuclear weapons actually increases peace.
