Because it sticks to your face.

The philosophy forum doesn't have a shield to guard against assholism.

I appreciate the topic. Maybe someone could have expounded on the comment I made about what peace would mean to ME? You know...what does it mean to YOU?

Anyone?

Guess we need a flowchart. Again.

That, to me, is actually a nice contribution. Remember when everyone was stoned and thought humanly peace was possible? Silly gooses.

As described in 1993 issue of New York Times:

"The dead-hand system he [Dr. Blair] describes today takes this defensive trend to its logical, if chilling, conclusion. The automated system in theory would allow Moscow to respond to a Western attack even if top military commanders had been killed and the capitol incinerated.

The heart of the system is said to lie in deep underground bunkers south of Moscow and at backup locations. In a crisis, military officials would send a coded message to the bunkers, switching on the dead hand. If nearby ground-level sensors detected a nuclear attack on Moscow, and if a break was detected in communications links with top military commanders, the system would send low-frequency signals over underground antennas to special rockets.

Flying high over missile fields and other military sites, these rockets in turn would broadcast attack orders to missiles, bombers and, via radio relays, submarines at sea. Contrary to some Western beliefs, Dr. Blair says, many of Russia's nuclear-armed missiles in underground silos and on mobile launchers can be fired automatically."

Peace like everything else in the universe comes in pockets and incongrous bunches. There will never be a time when peace is spread throughout the earth, nor will there be a time when war consumes everything. Both will take up large swaths of space and time. It's the way of things.

my .02 cents.

It's kind of poetic, less than majestic and too big to put on a bumper sticker.

I like it!
