& The A-Bomb rules, Cal McInvale

[jporter]

Cal holds forth:

>>4. DEMONIZATION. jporter (jp4321 at soho.ios.com) comments that "this
demonization is not supported by common sense." I would have to disagree
with this: I believe it is deep within our nature to mythologize the
so-called banal. (Although how anyone could think the atomic bomb is
banal...) We raise to the status of "hero" those who can swing a bat, throw
a football or slam-dunk a basketball; their abilities & power are beyond
our everyday experience. So too we raise the A-bomb to the status of
"demon."<<

Watch that we, ace.
