[After the Chinese nuke Los Angeles?]

Send them a thank you card.

How much would we have to pay them to nuke San Francisco, Seattle, and Boston too? Maybe we could get a package deal.

[Uncle Jaque]

I dunno, Tom;

According to the Bible,* "...The rain falls upon the just as well as the unjust" - or something to that effect; that would go for RADIOACTIVE rain as well, we suppose.

We live in Southern Maine, and a radioactive cloud from a Boston Ground Zero on the prevailing winds would drift right over us within an hour or two. There would probably be significant chunks of hot (in more ways than one) debris still falling out of it as it went over.
Not a good thing!

*I'm not sure just where, and too lazy to look it up right now, but feel free to check it out. I think that it's in the Book of Proverbs somewhere...
