(March 20, 2015 at 10:35 pm)Nestor Wrote: It seems like there was a lot of hysteria over nuclear bombs during the Cold War... and that seems to have faded completely except for an occasional and almost mechanical invocation in political rhetoric. Is the hope of complete disarmament dead?

Was there? I for one didn't wake up to worry abut the bomb every day. When Nixon was in office I was too little to worry about anything much and later on I was pretty sure that the Russians as well as the Americans weren't on a suicide trip. When I gave it some thought, that is. Which really wasn't that often.

The only time I really worried was right after 9/11 with Bush in the White House.
