What to Do If A Nuclear Disaster Is Imminent!

1. Spread your feet a comfortable distance apart.

2. Reach down and grab you ankles.

3. Place your head between your knees.

4. Kiss your ass goodbye.

The author is both serious and correct. If there is a dirty bomb or a small nuke detonated in the U.S., the response will be disorganized and the bungled response will cost hundreds to thousands of lives.

No kidding. If there's a real nuclear event, you better hope to be wellll outside of the 5psi blast zone. About 4 miles for a 10 kiloton they are likely to have. Anyone inside there's gonna be toast even if they survive in the initial heat/blast.

Before getting too excited about this writers column think about answering the writer's question about, Why aren't we equally concerned? Why does America, the richest nation in the world, have no civil defense? My answer to the above question is answered with a lot of other questions like the few that follow. It's because that once an atomic bomb war starts and is then finished, even if you live through it, what do you think will be left? How long do you think a person can live after a nuclear war? Most, if not all of the animals will be dead. You wouldn't be able to grow anything. The water wouldn't be fit to drink. Would you really want to live after a nuclear war? What would you do after a nuclear war? How would you survive and for how long? The whole world will have changed so think about if you could be able to change with it. Would the world go back to, only the strong survive? The last and most deeply thinking question to really think about is; would you really want to start it all over again?

Thanks.

Sobering.

When are we going to sentence Dillbo and Shrillery Clinton to Leavenworth?

Ahhhh, when we do Scuba Kennedy.

Ahhhh, when h*ll freezes over?

Sigh.

Has there been any culture in history so officially suicidal?
