It seems to me that while " to speak against nuclear weapons" may be both "chick" and relevant overlooking other cheaper methods of mass destruction are overlooked. A quick search on GOOGLE presents this comparison: To destroy civilian casualties in a 1 square kilometer area it would cost $2,000 o use convectional weapons $800 to use nuclear weapons,$600 to use nerve gas and $1.00 to use biological weapons.
Just a thought ad an explanation of why I don't fear the nuclear scientist as much as I do the biologist.
