Hiroshima Day 2008


No one has mentioned that today in 1945 America dropped the Atomic Bomb on Hiroshima, Japan. This was followed three days later by a larger one dropped on Nagasaki.
It is a sad day for me in so many ways--I have very conflicting feelings about the death, the destruction, but he ensuing victory and the end of WW II--a mix of good and bad, a real example of the dichotomy of life and its demands.
2008 and we have a spoof entry into the race for President by Paris Hilton...she states that she wants to paint the White House pink. Argentina has a Casa Rosado: Pink House.
Maybe the Dadaist side of life can show its hilarious face for us this coming November....one Never really knows.
