A few weeks ago I went to Oak Ridge Tennessee to protest outside of a facility that produces nuclear bombs. I went primarily to express hope that nuclear weapons will never have to be used again. Yet I remained weary about America's arsenal being disarmed, because it is scary to think of places like Iran or North Korea making bombs. But now I am more inclined to think that there should really be a huge global effort to disarm and make sure no country has the materials used to make such weapons. This article on CNN reinforced the point.

All caused by the monumentally wasteful Cold War. And afterall it is pretty foolish to think that it is atleast better that if the world is destroyed that your bombs are the ones that did most of the destroying. God life can be complex.
Life is been rather quiet as of late. No nights of heavy drinking. No staying up until the sun rises. I really am enjoying that. I have made progress on cutting down on smoking. When the year started I smoked a pack every three days, then every four days, and now only 2-4 cigarettes a day. It is really going to be a test when school starts back up and I am hoping that I can continue limiting myself.
Taxicab confessionals is going to be on in 23 minutes and I cannot tell you how excited I am for that.
I really want to see Alice Cooper at the Michigan State Fair. I really want to go hiking. I really want to go swimming. I really want to finish "An American Tragedy" and I am disappointed that I haven't yet.
