Sadly, I think Talking Points are the new sophistry. If it were a book it would be called "Debating for Dummies."
Is there any topic left that "The Dummies" did not cover?:hmm:

Yeah thats true. this planet cant go more then 10 years without at least one war.... Human nature i guess

Lets just hope that WW3 is fought conventionally and not with nuclear weapons... Last thing i want is countless ballistic missiles over my head, each with enough power to wipe out a city

Of course unlike the Soviets and the USA most of these new nuclear powers (Iran, N korea) Dont understand or dont care about the concept of M.A.D

Nos_tra_dam_us

What a funny name! Especially the dam us part ...

I've only seen his name on the newspapers they sell at the check out counters.

He must sell a lot of papers, but he doesn't make sense to me and Jesus does.

The Lord gave me a prophecy the other day, "Keep your eyes on the heavens ... Something big is about to happen"

Do you think I will be on the front covers of the tabloids if something big happens?

I think his name means "our lady" aka the Virgin Mary.

*Edit:* I just found out online that the reason he chose Nostredame as his surname was because the same day he converted to Catholicism was also the "saint day" for Mary.

Actually, the Soviets and the United States abandoned MAD in favor of NUT in the 1970's and 1980's. Reagan and Cap Weingerger were it's the leading proponents in the United States. We are still using NUT today although we are the only superpower, or maybe I should say because we are the only superpower. Carter was a believer in MAD, but as a protege of Rickover he would be.

Congress confirmed how NUTs we are, when they gave Bush (who can't even pronounce it) the right to use Nuclear Weapons in his "War on Terror".

Cruise Missles, the B-1 Bomber, and the B-2 Bomber are all NUT weapons.
