Ärende: Napalm & Agent Orange
=============================
Hello Alexander,

 LL>> "Saddam Hussein used gas, used chemical warfare.  True, ugly

 LL>> We used Agent Orange, which is chemical warfare."
 LL>> - Howard Zinn

AK>I am even afraid when I think what could have happened to the
AK>Vietnamese people if that war would break out today, when the US
AK>has advanced so dramatically in the skill of killing. When it is
AK>possible to kill packs of people drinking cofee, smiling and
AK>speaking "Gotcha!" I believe that the Vietnamese people were lucky
AK>that that war had happened many years ago.

Advances in technology has enabled man to kill his fellow man faster
and quicker than ever before.  But that does not mean that man is more
vicious today than he has been in times past.  Nuclear weapons enable
man to wipe out entire cities today.  But what about tomorrow's weapons?
What will those weapons be capable of?  Rather than limiting destruction
to cities, those weapons of the future might be able to wipe out entire
nations.  But something tells me that mankind will wipe itself out long
before he reaches that level of self-annihilation.  How will he manage
to accomplish the feat?  Here's how -

William "The Bard" Shakespeare was a tiny man.  Well under five feet
tall.  Closer to four and a half feet in height.  And he was of average
height for men of that time.  Those who came before him were much
shorter, and none could play basketball worth a hoot.  Except for Jesus,
who stood about three feet tall, but could literally walk on air.

And then one day some stranger from Russia made his way to Europe.
He was known as Ivan the Terrible.  And for good reason.  He stood
like a giant over pygmies, and could dunk a basketball without having
to stretch his arms.  Not even Julius Irving could do that.

From that point on, Europeans started eating meat and potatoes like
it was going out of style.  What happened as a result is that people
got fatter and fatter and fatter and fatter.  And people are still
getting fatter, especially after having added sugar to their diet.
As you know, people can only get so fat.  Until one day they pop.
And when they pop, it will not be a pretty sight.  If you have
ever seen an exploding cow (as I have), you will know what I mean.
