   Maybe when they now start to drop the so "needed" atomic bombs! Maybe   
   tehn you'll probably see the need of fixing, but maybe when you survive   
   and the tumors start to grow on you, maybe thewn it is to late to fix   
   anything! (no need to mention environnmental destruction. if you maybe   
   think it doesn't concern me only maybe the next generation, because now   
   everything is still(!?) under control, isn't that kind od selfish thinking?)
