Hiroshima Was Exactly 80 Years Ago, This Morning. Sigh.

While we -- all of humanity -- accept that this event "ended" the war. . . it was also undoubtedly an unimaginably-vast war crime, against millions of civilians -- and one for which all the US must atone, to this very day.

Beyond that, all I will say, today. . . is I am fearful that the present GOP leadership (and Tangerine NON-leadership) has long-forgotten, or never bothered to learn -- the lessons there.

We know Oppenheimer did. We know Einstein, and millions upon millions -- billions, even. . . of others. . . did.

But this, perhaps more than at any time in the last half-century. . . is a fraught moment.

Still -- onward as we, the people of good will -- and accepting of science, the world over. . . take a few moments of silence. . . to reflect on what humanity lost, in that blinding flash. . . 80 years ago.

Out.
