nukes.

big scary, nukes.

the linked piece is from the Daily Kos, and Plutonium Page goes into why and how our generation sees nukes in a completely different (and probably wrong) way. it has big implications not only on media effecting our knowledge, or foreign policy. but how we think about things we've never actually experienced in real life. only in media. and yeah.

nukes.

crazy.

and another Kos piece about the economy and the people who messed us all up. definitely helpful if your like me and only have a loose grasp on the minutia of economics. it also show us totally botching the example that Japan set for us. maybe we pay too much attention to ourselves.
