	Gender inequalities are much more insidious and complicated than any law has the power to lob off in a single stroke. To say otherwise is to oversimplify and trivialize women’s struggles. The ERA was largely a symbolic gesture – more an attempt to promote dialogue and attitudinal change on gender equality than to effect real change. The Church held that such a move was not worth the risk of inadvertently losing rights that women already enjoyed.

The missile system would have consisted of about 200 MX missiles and housing silos, and it would have been constructed in western Utah and eastern Nevada.

	Our days and times are truly marked by wars, rumors of wars, vapors of smoke, and great pollutions. It is interesting that Moroni links smoke, fire, and pollution to warfare in these verses, because modern warfare has serious environmental consequences. Although climate change, rain forest destruction, species extinction, and degradation of clean air and clean water all represent formidable environmental challenges, these threats pale compared to the environmental consequences of modern warfare in its most vicious and destructive form—detonation of nuclear weapons.
