Nuclear weapons must be dismantled.
This is not a defeatist attitude, rather, it
is a reflection of sanity.

However....the question is how??
The concept of a freeze is appealing at first
thought, but, realistically, it won't ever happen.

I don't know what the answer is to be honest.
I think the first step is awareness by the general public
that we(MANKIND) possess the ability to destroy ourselves.
The point is...we are not talking about regular power plays
by 'little boys' in the government...we are talking possible
destruction of civilization as we know it. 


This is kind of rambling so I will sign off for now.

Send flames if you want....but remember that for the first time
in man's history we control our own destiny, above and beyond
natural disasters,etc. I mean, just think about it, man has
never before had the power to DESTROY everything.
