Quote for the Day:

Nazi and nuclear ideologies have in common an impulse to slaughter human beings in numbers that can only be termed infinite, and to do so in the name of preserving the security of one's own group. In both cases, the final assertion of "security" readily becomes total self-destruction. In the case of nuclearism, that translation of security into absolute power can seem relatively innocent: there is no overt intent to victimize a particular people. Yet the potential consequences – and it must be noted that they are still just potential – could be absolute for the world at large.
