But it does mean, "fasten your seat belt Dorothy, 'cause Kansas is going bye-bye."
Nonsense. My family members used to leave Vegas for the hills and watch nukes cook off in the desert in the 50s and 60s. They are still here: Here is a picture of my great uncle at his 80th birthday party! :
Maybe that's what's wrong with me?! Seriesly ;) though, nukes and EMP don't scare me. Concern: YES! What scares me first and foremost is an ignorant and amoral electorate, and right after that is a pandemic avian flu outbreak with daily antigen shifts. THAT scares the living hell out of me because I've seen THAT wargamed. Results ain't pretty. I've seen lots of low level and regional nuke war games, with some hundred MT exchange, and that doesn't scare me as much as the pandemic antigen shift does or a 2nd Obama term.
