The Great and mighty Presto is often baffled at the duality that lies within mortal nature, often that which is rather hypocritical, perhaps this is why mortals have taken such a liking to radioactive substances. At first, the craze surrounding these compounds isn't quite so sinister, while you would hope that mortals wouldn't go around finding substances with an eerie glow to rub themselves down with, they also did not share the knowledge we have now on the effects of such substances. Though, even now in the modern day, after we have seen the effects of these substances firsthand, we still make use of them, and to be fair in some cases for good reason. Nucleur power actually is rather useful, it does not produce emissions, is relatively inexpensive, and it can be made in quite practical quantities. Though it still has its faults, look no further than Japan's incident not that long ago in which one of their reactors went the way of chernobyl to see the effects that this form of energy can have, regardless of whether or not the positives out way the detriments. To be fair, that isn't the only reason that Japan is a good example of the negative effects of radiation... The Great and Mighty Presto's guilt trip time is nigh, and this time his target is mortal kind's obsessive stocking of nucleur weaponry in the last century. Unlike nucleur power, the entire purpose of these weapons is not to help mortals, but to grant power to mortal governments and to kill other mortals, the duality still exists, but in this case both sides are equally sickening. Though, don't look to the cold war when we there was enough nucleur weapons in the U.S. alone to cover the globe multiple times over, and don't look to common sense to dictate that having these weapons around in such vast quantities can only lead to mortal kind's self assured destruction, just keep on building more good ol' weapons of mass destruction. In fact why don't you go try out biological warfare next? Supposedly it's the new hot craze.
