This is less a continuation and more a "do over," with hopefully less garbledegook. The first try was awful with it. Which is a step worse than being lousy with it.
Okay.

If you're one of those people who blame science for nuclear weapons...come off it already. Scientists didn't invent the power. They only discovered it. That shit was there already. That's like blaming Columbus for America.
Yeah, I'm well aware that 'it sucks.' I agree: it sucks. It would probably be a lot nicer for us all, if only there were not this indescribably violent power locked within the nuclei of atoms, just waiting for a clever monkey with a key to come along. It would be nicer, that is, assuming that our good ol' sun would still be in business under those conditions. But it seems that's the price we pay for it.
If you believe in God, blame God. If you don't believe in God, then blame the universe, its dizzying array of inscrutable mysteries. But if you're stupid enough to believe that it was ever possible (barring a species-ending meteor strike) that humanity would not unlock and exploit this particular box of Pandoriana, then all I can say is you are very, very stupid. Either that, or you've got a pet theory of parallel-dimension evolution wherein humanity could somehow naturally select to evolve too stupid to figure out some simple-ass shit like that.
You know what? Even in that scenario, you'd still be pretty stupid.
Ponder your stupidity. Taste it. Embrace the fact of it. Live at peace with it. Quit bugging others with it, maybe.
Too much to ask, maybe.
But anyway: don't blame the scientists. A scientist should have exactly the same morality as the universe has. You've got to think like the universe, to plunder its secrets!!
