HAVING just this afternoon walked through the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, I saw so many images of death and destruction as a result of the atomic bomb dropped in 1945.
The argument that it brought the war to an earlier finish has merit but the children killed and burnt had done nothing to deserve this.
We had all thought and hoped that this was an evil from 80 years ago but now Russian Presidet Vladimir Putin is threatening to use atomic weapons again and they are far more powerful now.
If anyone wants to define evil then the threat of using an atomic bomb would meet the criteria.
Never again, please.

Who could wrestle those children under control?
Teachers are always wrestling with their students to get them under control and sometimes not successfully, but who could help them?
President-elect Donald Trump of the United States has solved this problem by appointing Ms. Linda McMahon, a former professional wrestling executive to the role of Education Secretary although she has little experience in the area. Maybe Hulk Hogan can be the Discipline Master, given very few people could ever beat him.
Then each school will get an ex-wrestler – there are a lot of them – to maintain a code of self-discipline and improve the education of their students.
Of course, there are some people who believe wrestling is fake but they probably also believe political promises are fake.

Foxes in the chicken coop
Like Chicken Little, and many others, I have been running around and panicking about the US presidential election but it has come and gone, so it’s time to return to the chicken coop.
The problem is that there are now foxes heading for the coop. Robert F. Kennedy, a vaccine skeptic is going to be the health secretary so hopefully there will be no need for the bird flu vaccine. With billionaire Musk working on efficiency, it will be more and bigger eggs every day.
There are still other jobs on offer to the right people.

Go home
A couple of recent newspaper reports after the US election suggested Donald Trump could reveal UFO secrets.
Will this include where he came from, and more importantly when he is going home?

Wake in fear
There were times in our youth, a number of decades ago, when we would wake, roll over and wonder what did we did last night and what we might regret.
How many Americans are now doing the same thing?

Twice a fool?
“Fool me once, shame you. Fool me twice, shame on me.”
And so Trump returns./PN
