An Open Pit Uranium Mine – Put it all back where it came from including today’s buildings, facilities, bombs and nuclear power plants — all things nuclear . . . If it has been reclaimed, reclaim it again. ~llaw
On My Mind Today:
This daily blog post is going to make a few additional but gradual changes over the next few weeks and months — and perhaps years — in order to move on beyond the cold-hearted definition of the word “nuclear” and what the word actually means in todays’ apathetic world(s). For example, we will take a serious look into the near future about how human and other life extinction could easily, and soon, become a reality.
The word “nuclear” and related words have gradually gone beyond their original definitions — Webster once defined uranium, which is now known as nuclear fuel, as “A worthless mineral found in the ground.” But the word and its derivatives today, of course, go far beyond that having gradually become a negative connotation or synonym for other words, such as “nuclear” that can serve to specify the connection to the core of atoms, the processes of energy release associated with them, the applications of that energy, and, in a broader sense, the central or essential elements of various things like a kind of family, or even as an individual part of something central, or as a figurative word like “gone nuclear”, which has two primary figurative meanings when applied to humans or situations:
(Definitions Courtesy of Google)
- To become extremely angry, lose control, or behave in a furious and unrestrained manner:According to Merriam-Webster, this meaning is becoming more common.
- Example: “My boss went nuclear when he found out about the missed deadline.”
- To take drastic or extreme measures against an opponent or in a situation: This implies an escalation to a severe or over-the-top approach.
- Example: “The company decided to go nuclear with their marketing strategy to dominate the market.”
What all of this demonstrates is that, though we use the definition of what “nuclear” is, but fail to learn, consider, understand, and take seriously the “realistic” nature and definition of the critical nature of the word — as in “nuclear warfare”, “nuclear bombs”, “nuclear energy”, “nuclear reactors” — and, as mentioned above, use it as perhaps a negative connotation of psychological anger or derangement to get a serious point across.
Since we know that much about the word, “nuclear”, and yet steer clear of facing its core definition, we ignore the fact that it has the power to control the very destiny of human and other life on Earth and instead rationally demand or force the world through the use of common sense insist that its “leaders” absolutely do away with “all things nuclear” rather than allow our own extinction to be controlled by a few men with big egos of “self aggrandizement” who believe, realistically so, that they control the very future of global human inhabitance.
I believe that in order to save most all life, including other species, on planet Earth, we have no choice but to unite against the tyranny of all dictatorial governments, including our own USA, that have control over human freedom and civil rights and demand that “ALL THINGS NUCLEAR” be dismantled and returned to the depths of barren earth where nuclear fuel (uranium) originally came from.
It is a huge internationally cooperatively required job, of course, but if there is “a will there is a way” to make it happen. But only “We the People” can make it happen. ~llaw
