human race not equipped to look after nuclear products

September 28th 2008 00:39
The human race is not equipped to look after nuclear products. The disclosure that the US airforce has not been maintaining the country's nuclear arsenal, and hasn't for over a decade has to to be a terrible warning for all those gungho types that imagine that nuclear energy is going to balance out global warming.

If America can't dedicate some responsibility for a nuclear arsenal to a single entity it has to be a terrible reminder that that the human race is too flawed to cope with the planet's future.

The revelation above was revealed in a Pentagon task force report last week.The US secretary of defence Robert Gates said the airforce needs to establish a clear and unified control over the nation's arsenal.


Gates went on to states that there would be established a new airforce strategic command to cope with the problem.

This comes on top of the one hundred and sixty leaks from French power stations in the last year. Disturbing news for the human race depending on nuclear power to save the planet. It makes Australia's destiny as the planet's nuclear waste dump rather untenable. How long would it take for us to forget our stewardship?

Madrigals of a Misanthrope? Do me a favour, and put up that list of your novels. Better yet, publish snippets online or better yet, in their entirety. Please.
When I was a kid, with a kid's brain, the term 'nuclear family' had me flummoxed, but now I'm an adult with an adult's brain it still has me drawing a blank.
If hope is enough, I hope the earth will be all right, because like a flea on a dog we need it to be healthy.

Hi Norm, a web site is going up in the next week with novels listed - and some being republished that you can purchase. What timing! One slits the bureaucratic belly of China and details my fisticuffs with George Bush snr (Compulsively Murdering Mao). That should be on the website and Amazon within a fortnight. Aaah yes, the website should appear under www.billgreenbooks.com.

Coming up is Freud and the Nazis Go Surfing (surfing noir).

Thanks for the interest, mate.

A friend asked: have you any reviews of your novels? I showed him and he was inspired enough to design the website. He thought they (the novels) were prophetic.

Thanks, Bill. Yep, I just ordered a Freud and the Nazis in a classic of surfing noir. The Murdeing Mao one I'll wait for in paperback. Got any ones going at the moment?
Prophetic? I can believe that of you. I've thought you were like one in the desert before the waters really ran dry. Looking forward to the site.
