quantity, but rather one of quality. The plan calls for more =
=E2=80=9Cprecise=E2=80=9D nuclear weapons which according to Marylia =

people, has shit ramifications all the way around. I mean if they get =
used, that sucks, and if they get produced, that sucks for the =
environment=E2=80=A6 talk about a lose lose situation. Most =
interestingly I thought the implication that big corporate businesses =

ramifications as far as our moral conscious is concerned. If that really =
is the case, and I wouldn=E2=80=99t be surprised if it is, then we are =
