Comments and Thoughts

Managed to edit those rather rude comments and get them off the comment list, again, apologies for uncensored rudeness of some posters.

I was reading today about various disaster scenarios and preparedness. Years ago in grade school, during the height of the Cold War, we were taught to dive under our desks to protect us from radiation. Even though I knew next to nothing about a nuclear bomb, I knew for sure this measure was useless. All it managed to do was scare the snot out of a country full of kids.

Nevertheless, some of our friends had bomb shelters and fully stocked pantries with enough food and goods to last a family of 5 several weeks. Somehow I thought that was pretty useless also. In some ways, I still do. Yet there's a difference between the possibility of a suitcase nuke and a full-bore nuclear missile.

Speaking of nuked towns this is an excellent photo essay of Chernobyl Kid Of Speed

As mentioned in the last post, "make like a boy scout" and be prepared. It's just sensible in this day and age of insanity and terrorism. Stay tuned for a link for a preparedness article. I'll post it when the article's finished.
