"Whatever you see: sky, sea, clouds, earth,

All things are begun and ended by my hand.

Care of the vast world is in my hands alone,

And mine the governance of the turning pole.

When I choose to send Peace, from tranquil houses,

Freely she walks the roads, and ceaselessly:

The whole world would drown in bloodstained slaughter

If rigid barriers failed to hold war in check."

Ovid: Book One of Fasti
Between 1945 and 1962 the United States conducted 331 atmospheric nuclear tests. The radioactive half- life expectancy of released particles ranges from 24,000 years for Plutonium 239 to 700 million years for Uranium 235 . These are only the bombs tested by the USA. Do you think that may have some impact on cancer related deaths worldwide? More recently, Associated Press reports that 90% of all the U.S. Nuclear reactors are leaking radiation at levels above accepted safety standards. There's something to think about the next time you hear of someone dying from cancer.These do not include underwater tests which were more than a few...contamination of atmosphere, water, soil, plants and animals as well as humans themselves exposed. Mankind is at the top of the food chain but we certainly are a stupid species.
