A-BOMB
It is 60 years since we saw how destructive the A-bomb is and we still have them. God, we are such a stupid species! Not that we need one for lack of evidence, but the A-bomb is the ultimate indication of our willingness to self-destruct.
The A-bomb is at the pinnacle of weapons structures that are used to impose our perceived right or to defend against the imposition of another's perceived right. The resulting conflict is impossible to reconcile with the fact there is simply just one right. (see poem)
With only one right there is absolutely no reasonable justification for weapons of any kind. However, there is no end to the unreasonable justifications for weapons of every kind. To justify the A-bomb is utterly absurd, yet we manage to find a way.
I would say God damn us for being so stupid; but it is unnecessary. We have damned ourselves.

Do you not think if not for the use of the A bomb we would have been overtaken by our enemy? As destructive as it was what other way would have been better in your mind?
