Conclusions about nuclear weapons

The consensus of those attending Philosophy Class today: It's not feasible to try to stop the construction of the Honeywell plant for the manufacture of nuclear weapon parts in South Kansas City. But we should express our deep concern about the production and stockpiling of nuclear weapons; that there should be a major reduction in the stockpiles of such weapons; that the treaty signed by President Obama with Russia, now pending before the senate for ratification, is a step in that direction; that there could be circumstances where the limited used of nuclear weapons might be necessary for our survival. Quoting from the Catholic Key Blog of Sept. 2: "Let us make a decision for all mankind: that one day this facility (in South Kansas City) may be transformed from a producer of weapons into a producer of goods that benefit all mankind."
