I've happened upon a strange phenomenon, and I wonder if anyone else has encountered the same thing. When I speak to liberals about the terrorism we could possibly face on our own soil one day, especially with regard to nuclear weapons, most of them would rather not survive at all than face the problem head on. "If that happens, I want to be in the center of the blast," most leftists say. Total defeatism. Survival instinct completely absent.
Conservatives, on the other hand, are not only hell-bent on surviving such an incident (either by moving away from major cites, getting potassium iodide for protection against thyroid cancer, building shelters, buying gold, storing food, all of the above, etc.), but are also hell-bent on making sure our elected reps inflict exponentially more damage than we recieve. An interesting comparison.
Yeah, I know I'm off topic, but at least I bumped the important thread article.
