I guess I should blog about something other than race, illegal “immigration,” love of country and culture, and false allegations of gang-rape, such as…
…survival of the human race!
I like Old Time Radio, especially the paranoid 1950s-era Sci Fi shows like X Minus One. Atomic bomb-themed 50s movies and television shows are funny in retrospect. Sort of. The Cold War was no joke. Earlier this year, inspectors in New York City found an old fallout shelter full of survival supplies.
Man is a sinful creature and will always put his energy into destroying himself. Whether it’s applying a discovery like fission to devices that cause mayhem and death or knowingly engaging in behavior conducive to the spread of debilitating, contagious, fatal diseases, it seems we have a gigantic death wish. Calling Dr. Freud…
The possibility of a nuclear strike is back on the front pages. North Korea is flexing its screw-you muscles by building nuclear weapons and test-firing nuclear weapons:
After firing six missiles over four hours early Wednesday, North Korea continued its unprecedented series of tests by sending a seventh into the Sea of Japan some 12 hours later during rush hour in Japanese cities.
But the missile considered most dangerous to the United States — the long-range Taepodong-2 potentially capable of hitting targets on the U.S. West Coast — appeared to fail on its first test flight after only 35 seconds and before it entered the second of two-stages, dealing a blow to the North Korean missile program, Japanese and U.S. officials said.

Bush says the missiles are “no threat” to the U.S., and from what I’ve read so far, it’s true. But that could change. I’m not stressed. If I can’t influence my president to control the borders, I certainly can’t do anything about North Korea’s gadfly routine. Broken promises are standard operating procedure in politics.
In times like these, I remember who I am in Christ. I don’t fear death per se, but I certainly don’t want to go out in a missile attack. If I do, I hope I’m at ground zero. However, I don’t get to decide those things.
As I said, I’m not stressed. At. All.

Update (7/6): Pyongyang’s foreign minister says:
Our military will continue with missile launch drills in the future as part of efforts to strengthen self-defense deterrent…If anyone intends to dispute or add pressure about this, we will have to take stronger physical actions in other forms.
Well, excuse us for living!
