Hope in the Atomic age

Does not the threat of an atomic catastrophe which could
wipe out the human race also serve to protect the very
forces which perpetuate this danger? The efforts to prevent
such a catastrophe overshadow the search for its potential
causes in contemporary industrial society. These causes
remain unidentified, unexposed, unattacked by the public.
This society is irrational as a whole. Its productivity is
destructive of the free development of human needs and
faculties, its peace maintained by the constant threat of
war, its growth dependent on the repression of the real
possibilities for pacifying the struggle for
existence--individual, national, and international

I don't think many people are that bothered by nuclear war
any more. Although the risk is certainly there (albeit
lessened since the end of the cold war, in spite of what
Bush et al would have us believe), society seems to of got
fed up of worrying about it. Yes, the possibility is always
there, but it's like worrying about developing cancer: Yes,
within reason, you should do everything in your power to
prevent it, but most sane people don't toss and turn at
night worrying about it.

I'd say it has become "one of those things" we've become
fairly fatalistic about: Like a giant meteor hitting earth,
the threat is always there, but you accept it. Even
anti-nuke protests get comparatively few supporters (to say,
"war in Iraq" ones), in spite of it being probably the most
far reaching and most permanent things we could protest
about.

That's a shit post Ceri, half the second paragraph was
unnecessary and you covered the same point twice.

I think there's always been the equivalent of "atmoic
catastrophe", be it from Angry Gods to Earhtquakes, Plagues,
invading savages. We're always on the brink of disaster,
it's how we do it *bobs head rhythmically*

They stole the idea for Men in Black just from "some shit" I
threw together after having not eaten or slept for three
weeks.

Whenever I dream about nuclear war, which is often, I almost
feel disappointed when I wake up... kind of ghoulish and
morbid I guess.
