We are so, so tired of our government finding ways to spend our tax money on the war industry, and its wholesale killing of our neighbors.

Now, it’s back to atomic warfare. The big scare game: nuclear quantum mechanics. And, now, missiles to prevent us from being incinerated because of our demonic foreign policy of dominance and expansion.

In the event of a defensive missile shooting down a nuclear-tipped missile entering our air space, it would likely cause an above-ground thermonuclear reaction and incinerate the state of Maine. Incineration for all!

We know that we have no voice in these matters. They are just preparing us and the politicians for the coming billion-dollar spending game. The joke is on us.

Missiles for what?
