chaos and honey

do they still operate the doomsday clock at the university of chicago? if not maybe they should consider dusting it off and hanging it up back on the wall.amazing that after the berlin wall came down, after we watched one eastern europe country return to freedom after another and spoke (some of us) of a world in which there would only be limited conflicts.......that we find ourselves only 15 or so years later not only being confronted by pirates (terrorists), small fanatical countries acting in unison with certain pirate organizations, large polars jealously fighting for acceptance (euroland), and now the re-emergence of a in your face arms race between not only the u.s. and russia, but all other nuclear powers and up and comers........
point? it is the same old crapoola that we grew up with in the 60's and 70's, we have actually returned home again........thomas wolfe must be spinning in his grave.
