I present to you:
Radioactive Material: You Can't See It, and You Can't Smell It Either
Please watch for entertainment and a piece of wisdom and great music too..
Japan reggae artists MC Rankin and Dub Ainu Band deliver a cautionary message about radioactive material through this song and music video..
Notes that came to mind..
Peace through nuclear balance of power is not peace. It's a numb Peace that maintains the tension of war...another relique from the Cold War. If the universal framework was successful through state and non-state actors - arms are irrelevant.
Governmentality, the branches/organized practices of government in which a government can influence the citizens, is embedded with power...power that can be passed with knowledge - for the person to govern their self (Foucault). Idealistically, a complete ban on nuclear arms, depleted uranium too(or whatever is finally concluded on the radiation exposure of citizens in Baghdad after the start of the war), WMDs, etc. is what the globe as a whole should work towards. Producing and shelling out the bucks to buy these arms and weapons technology are an investment towards death. I don't believe that's a logical investment, especially if the statecraft has a direct responsibility to the people.
The money being milked to pay for this can be invested better: the citizen. Through healthcare, education, funding towards lowering poverty, public transportation, programs that cover the basic needs. The statecraft exists only in the effects of the actions it puts forth. The investments make the process of responding to the citizens better - positive actions rather than negative, detrimental tools of power manipulation.
