Have a safe, happy, and enjoyable weekend. Be kind, grateful, charitable, and don’t forget to smile, as it’s contagious!

I am going to make this short and sweet. Nuclear weapons of global destruction are the single greatest threat to world destruction. We need to hammer home in science, starting at the youngest ages, how long the half-life of radioactive materials is, and the effects on agriculture, weather, and the fact that even if you could survive (you won’t), you wouldn’t want to, as it would be a short and painful life and way to die.

Point to Ponder: I quote, ” On August 2, 1939, Albert Einstein wrote to President Franklin Roosevelt. His letter would result in the Manhattan Project, and one of history’s most significant – and destructive- inventions. He wrote, “Recent work in nuclear physics made it probable that uranium may be turned into a new and important source of energy in which this energy could be used for the construction of powerful bombs.” He determined and shared this with FDR, expressing suspicion at Germany’s decision to halt uranium sales in occupied Czechoslovakia. This letter became the impetus for the 2-billion-dollar Manhattan Project under the direction of Robert Oppenheimer. He shared this out of fear that Hitler’s Germany was working to obtain and create such a weapon.

Einstein distanced himself from the project and always insisted that his part in the release of atomic energy was “quite indirect” by offering his findings in the scientific equation we are now so familiar with, “E=mc2”

President Harry Truman, the only person who ordered nuclear strikes on Hiroshima and Nagasaki to end WWII, wrote in his diary, “We have discovered the most terrible bomb in the history of the world.”

On a Happier note! I wrote and published two Philadelphia Holiday stories, which your family and friends will enjoy for years to come. Please consider purchasing the book, e*read, or the Christmas story on Audible. Also, PLEASE don’t forget to write and post a review.
