Must I vote yet again for Mother Teresa ?

 

The defense budget might be good for Rhode Island capitalists- and a small number of stupefied unionized workers- but it is definitely not GOOD, not good for world peace or humanity.
Such weapons of mass destruction certainly are useless also against ISIS terrorists. Not even those formidable- and often murderously misguided drones - seem to terrify the terrorists.
What good are these weapons ? They do back up the New Colonialism. I read where we are even hiding tanks in caves in Norway. Getting ready for World War III ?
Decades ago pacifist A.J. Muste asked : " Who has the Spiritual Atom Bomb ? " Not the Ayn Rand, Queen of Mean, Republicans. Not hawkish Hillary. And in his foreign policy Bernie Sanders is slightly to the right of " socialist " Eugene V. Debs, five times a Socialist Party candidate for president of the United States.
I hope I don't have to vote yet again for Mother Teresa.
"Good " times for Electric Boat workers ?

 "  Police arrested 82 protesters in Groton, Conn., for trying to prevent Electric Boat shipyard employees from going to work building submarines that will carry a new generation of nuclear missile. "The Trident II, when it's deployed, will bring the world closer to nuclear war than it was 25 years ago," said protest spokesman Bill Boston, a member of the New Haven-based Coalition to Stop Trident.
