Rules for submitting comments:
1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.
2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.
3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.
4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.
Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.
Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.

However, unlike nuclear weapons, no treaty will ever get rid of this particular WMD. And, unfortunately, it wouldn't necessarily inhibit it from future eruptions, as we have seen with Mt. St. Helens and Anat Krakatau.
In any game of geological poker, the Earth always has five aces. And a derringer up its sleeve, to boot.
