    On this day 59 years ago...

    An event happened that forever changed the world. A war was ended, and a new one began.

    In a Single flash of light, more lives then I can visualize were lost.

    We learnt at that time, we have the power to destroy this fragile planet we exist on.

    Loosely translated from the enscription at Peace Park in Hiroshima.

    '(we) shall not let this evil pass again'

    Please remember today, remember the human tradgedy and remember why we can not let it happen again.

    Let us all learn a lesson from Hiroshima and Nagasaki, so that those lives were not lost in vain.

              aye...

              hope it never happen again.

              but sadly it will (or something worse, after all, we are human)

                                  Unfortunately, I fear it will happen again as long as just one nation has the capability of doing it. Equally unfortunately, it is utopian to think that everyone wishes to harness nuclear energy only for peaceful purposes.

                                  I pray it doesn't happen.

                                                  May the evil never surface for destrution again. I do however believe in it's use for propulsion of a spacecraft.

                                                      I'd like to see (well, I wouldn't like to see, but you know what I mean) a movie that that goes into as much "gory" detail about the effects of the bombs as The Passion of the Christ did.

                                                      TPotC is rather mild compared to what I've read and the pictures I've seen about Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and when I heard about how strongly people were effected by the torture and suffering shown in that movie it really really pissed me off. It'd be interesting to see how the same people who came out of the theaters crying and so moved by what they saw would react if they watched a accurate depictions of the bombs, if they'ed even go and see such a film.

                                                      I guess that was a complicated way of saying I agree with Dan on the "don't joke about nuking people" thing.
