Here in Rhode Island -- "The Nolo State" -- we are celebrating what used to be known as V.J. (Victory over Japan) Day, but what has morphed into Victory Day.
Today only at Haruki, a world-class Sushi restaurant on the East Side of Providence, there's a special appetizer called the Mushroom Cloud: chanterelles soaked in sake.
Eat two of them and you're bombed.
Just kidding.
How do you know that a Death March veteran sun bathes in the nude?
There are no Bataan lines.
I just made that up.
Rhode Island -- the only state that celebrates World War II's nuclear nightmare.
Yeah. There were two Holocausts.

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
