While the massive deaths that would occur if a nuke was detonated in D.C., one of the many problems would be the technological and literary work of the Library of Congress and Smithsonian. The destruction of these records could really set us back...they should be immediately moved from the area...

its going to be a little difficult to start evacuating records from DC libraries while at the same time telling people "everything is OK, nothing to see here, just move on".

HAVE FELT STRONGLY ABOUT THAT ISSUE FOR DECADES.

I feel we need to do like the Chinese do in Taipei.

Their national museum is on the side of a mountain. They have enough stuff saved--thankfully--from before the Cultural Revolution on the Mainland--that with 3 floors of the museum . . . changing the displays on one floor every 6 months . . . it takes 11 years to show it all.

The rest of the time, the stuff is deep inside vaults way in side the mountain.

Our arrogance has been to assume that we were such masters of our own fate and geopolitics that we could protect our own Capital sufficiently etc. HOGWASH.

Part of me cares more about the Library of Congress than the Smithsonian . . . but either one would be a huge loss. Both . . . sigh.

But, if, as may be possible, God is intent on taking the whole planet back to an aggrarian life-style . . . we wouldn't be able to do much to protect against that.

Not sure what I believe about that.
