The atomic bomb named
"Little Boy" was dropped on
Hiroshima by
the Enola Gay, a Boeing B-29 bomber, at 8:15 in the morning of
August 6, 1945. At that moment,
Homo Sapiens
(from the Latin
for man wise or knowing) became a distinctly
endangered
species. A species that had shown a remarkable talent for
adapting to and transforming the planet to accommodate its needs
had suddenly become the biggest threat to its own survival. It
remains to be seen if Homo Sapiens can evolve into Homo Sapiens Summissus (from the Latin for man wise and gentle). It’s an
open question whether the species can develop wisdom or has just
developed self-destructive IQ.
Species Wisdom Factor is the question.
"Never doubt that a small group
of thoughtful citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the
only thing that ever has."
Margaret
Mead
A small group of thoughtful citizens came together and
decided that
Olympia,
Washington and the Greater South Sound Community should stop and
reflect on nuclear weapons and the post-nuclear age. We
chose the week of the sixtieth anniversary of the bombing of
Hiroshima
and Nagasaki for this time of reflection. We welcome you and
thank you for the interest expressed by coming to this site and
reading this far. Feel free to link to this site and spread the
word. More information is available by emailing us at

If you are interested in being involved in any of the activities
or events, just email the contact related to the event. There is
plenty of good work to go around. We hope you will look
through all the activities and
contact us to become involved with any of the
activities that call to you.
Here are
