I am physically sick by the notion that one of the most powerful administrators (mind you, not a leader) in the government is actively persuing the funding of nuclear bunker busters. my disgust lies in a variety of bases: our country's continued proliferation of nuclear weapons, *which would just do so much good*, the fact that thousands of families do not have enough food, access to health care, proper educational facilities, homes to live in, et cetera ad nauseum, and the continuing focus on developing 'defense.' nuclear bunker busters...not such a defensive method, in my perspective.

what gloom, what despair. (this is me being over dramatic, if you couldn't pick that up already.) oy...just had to get this out.
