The first is that monumentally ignorant people DO manage to
obtain great power.

What scares me the most is the class of people who have their fingers on 
those buttons of our total destruction.  They belong to some of the 
craziest cults on the planet.  They believe in horrible superstitions that 
have nothing to do with decency and logic.  There they sit next to that 
control box thinking about Knights Templar, All-seeing eyes, attending 
ritual cult burnings at Bohemian Grove, members of Skull and Bones yet 
another ritual cult.

I don't see any differences between a cult-member President, Prime 
Minister, Der Fuhrer, or any of the ancient cultist rulers who killed for 
their brand of god.

We constantly stand on the edge of armagheddon as our leaders chant 
incantations to owl gods in the woods.....
