At least that actually happened instead of being a fantasy. So, you're saying: "At least a nuke went off?" or that a nuke going off is a fantasy? You know that plenty have gone off, and a few killed a lot of people, right? I don't have any big problem with nuclear power, but I don't want to see a nuke go off.

"If people have the freedom to share bad ideas, surely that is a slippery slope to having the freedom to kill people with nuclear bombs" is a fantasy.
