End Nuclear Insanity Before Nuclear Insanity Ends Humanity”

LLAW’s Nuclear World News’ Image and/or Lead Story for Today . . .

I am wondering if we were, in reality, safer, more content, at ease, and peacefully comfortable, and in many other ways better off back in the “old days” before the industrial revolution of pollution came along and produced the rabid idea of worshipping money instead of the objective and personal values of needful trade . . . ~llaw

An Important Message from:

Lloyd Albert Williams/Pendergraft, Content Creator . . .

This daily blog post will, for the next several issues at least, contains only the daily compiled LLAW’s Nuclear World News Today for an unknown period without comment or critique because my eyesight has quite suddenly become impossible for me to continue. (Google compiles the category lists from news sources for me automatically during the course of a day, so the articles and stories themselves are not a problem to post, although they are often out of category order, which I will do my best to correct each day.)

But, rest assured, I’m not going away — I am doing everything in my power to remedy the problem with my eyes — and I hope to return to a full daily report, including new, stronger and more internationally important commentary, of “All Things Nuclear” as soon as I am physically able . . . ~llaw\
