Today in history
« on: August 06, 2010, 03:19:29 PM »
August 6, 1945. 

The echo from the boom can still can be heard if you put your ear into the wind just right.  For better or for worse, to the victor and the vanquished, to anyone who cares about the future of this globe and our shared humanity we must all say "Never again", and hope desperately for that to be the case.  To work for it and pray for it.  But ultimately, to be prepared.
