kind of off the subject but not really. i got the day off from work because RI still celebrates VJ Day= Victory Over Japan.

About 6,000 people, including hundreds of aging bomb survivors, crowded into Nagasaki\'s Peace Memorial Park, just a few hundred yards from the center of the blast, for a solemn remembrance and moment of silence.

Nagasaki Mayor Iccho Itoh then had some angry words for the leaders of the nuclear powers, and especially the United States.

\'\'We understand your anger and anxiety over the memories of the horror of the 9/11 terrorist attacks,\'\' he said. \'\'Yet, is your security enhanced by your government\'s policies of maintaining 10,000 nuclear weapons, of carrying out repeated sub-critical nuclear tests, and of pursuing the development of new \'mini\' nuclear weapons?\'\'

violence just leads to more violence and everyone worrying about whose stick is bigger. just get rid of them all and make a statement for peace. I think we have enough of everything else to blow the **** out of any aggressors.

I would figure the people who actually have jobs would be more upset.
