apocalyptica?

so I'm not usually the type of person to be swayed by politics. for the most part I'm pretty down to earth, maintaining an everything-will-be-fine attitude. well, with these crazy wikileaks, I'm suddenly feeling this burden of "oh no, what if everything is not fine?"

so while I'm thinking this and day after tomorrow, war of the worlds, armageddon, etc. images are playing through my head (cue impending-doom music as well), I realize that, well, there's a possibility of a nuclear war. and I don't even know what that really means, I just know that it means a lot of death, a lot of destruction, and a lot of world war III.

not that I have the first idea of how to go about fixing this situation (please, I'm no politician), but it's a relatively scary thought that this round-the-world arms race is happening. even with countries trying to establish peace, what is getting done? how will we solve this? I guess this is why every beauty pageant (okay maybe this is just a miss congeniality reference) contestant asks for world peace but it's pretty scary to think of the other possibility -- the opposite of world peace being world war (thanks hobbes?), which could happen now. uh-oh.
