The Rural Voice, 1998-01, Page 11i threaten the future of mankind by disrupting nature. Those who make such statements are often compared to the people who still think the earth is flat. But let's remember that the best scientists in the world once thought the sun revolved around the earth. Later scientific knowledge showed they were wrong. The scientists of the 1950s thought they had nuclear power figured out, but we've found out how little they knew, Speaking with nearly 40 years of hindsight, former U.S. Secretary of Defence Robert MacNamara recently revealed how close the world came to nuclear war over the Cuban missile crisis in 1962. His top advisers urged President John Kennedy to invade Cuba, a move which MacNamara now says would have triggered nuclear war.

Clifford 519-327-8005 Keith Roulston Recently he said that human fallibility and nuclear weapons don't go together. Humans will always be fallible, he said, so we must get rid of nuclear weapons.
