We pray the Our Father, and we say 'Thy kingdom come,' and we forget it is possible for the kingdom of heaven to come on earth.

Should the work of Y-12 be used today, most of the world would be turned into hell. Nuclear deterrence is terrorism. The human need is above the law. My intention was to take a few small steps toward doing good and saving life.
-Steve Baggarly
