So, so, so very true.  This currentLy building Korean has made me as nervous as I remember being as a girl/youth about the Cold War/nuclear possibilities, and then the Cuban missile situation.  I have to remind myself that none of us -- quite literally NO ordinary citizen -- has any control at all over what our esteemed "leaders" do, and even when we are given a fairly clear choice in elections, negative circumstances develop that could destroy us all.  Aside from a normal self-preservation instinct I don't care much for ancient me, but I care infinitely for our kids and grandkids.  The level of violence and lack of privacy we've come to accept as "normal" is out of a sci-fi movie, and the nuclear war threat is inconceivable to anyone but madmen. 

Even with the UN resolution passed Friday by 120 countries, there are still the most powerful nuclear-armed countries NOT signing.  Fat chance the US will consider it when we've even backed out of Paris' Eco protections.  "Sad."
