A-Bomb Mindlessness

"This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill, the story ends. You wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill, you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes."
--Morpheus (The Matrix)

As observed here, dropping two atomic bombs on Japan 70 years ago this week was never justified. Not only did they constitute the only war-time uses of nuclear devices, but they were dropped on non-military targets (read: cities). At least 200,000 people were killed immediately--more than all US soldiers killed in the Pacific Theater during WWII.

Since that time, all US citizens have been inundated with propaganda, largely during their school years, that dropping the bomb was right.

Critical thinkers take the red pill and know differently.
