The Clock is Ticking

Filed under: Critical Voices | FrontPage | Health & Welfare | Nuclear | Climate Change — by Bob Zuber @ 4:22 am

The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists has moved the hands of the ‘doomsday clock’ closer to the witching hour: “By moving the hand of the Clock closer to midnight — the figurative end of civilization — the BAS Board of Directors is drawing attention to the increasing dangers from the spread of nuclear weapons in a world of violent conflict, and to the catastrophic harm from climate change that is unfolding.”

In Dante’s Hell those guilty of the sin of cupidity are in the ninth circle, frozen in the Lake of Ice. Having cared for nothing but self in life, they are encased in icy Self for eternity. By making people focus only on oneself in this way, Satan and his followers turn their eyes away from the harmony of love that unites all creatures.
