Better than teaching in China, but still cold in Winter. And drivers in Seoul do actually stop at traffic lights. Amazing.

Of all the bad things that man can do to mankind, launching nukes is the worst.

And just a few months ago, Obama made official his intent to cut way back on the number of nukes on hand.

He has the upper hand in more ways than one and I pray he is extremely successful at putting the clock of doom back at least a few hours from the 5 minutes to midnight where it now resides.

Of course the warmongers will hate him for it if he does win some reprieve. But they do anyway.

Maybe the Nobel Peace prize was noble?
