My family and I are loyal viewers of "24," one of the two best shows on TV (tied with "The Office.")
But I do think the nuclear explosion went too far. Some things are better feared, than experienced, even vicariously.
I do not look to debate. So let me start this short post with.....'With respect'.
You said, "Some things are better feared, than experienced, even vicariously."
Indeed, what you say is correct, but the majority of the citizens of the USA, have failed to recognize the very real possibility of this, or something like it, as a very realistic future for us all.
It seems to me that it might be best to shake them up on film, as they sit in the comfort of their homes, than wait until the worst actually occurs.
Regardless, I hold little hope that America will ever really wakeup......even after the fighting hits our own streets.
