Who Remembers This?

All that was, and perhaps still is, needed would be the advice: "Prepare to evacuate"

Me, I'd load my guns, and hang out for a bit, see how bad things were; and if it got too bad I'd off my critters, drink all my booze, smoke all my dope, and blow out what's left of my brain cells.
As a species, we ain't really all that important. We won't be missed. In fact, the planet, once it has recovered from the mess we have made of it, will probably be better off without us.

Since the end of the Cold War, we seem to have forgotten the threat of nuclear war ... I'm sorry folks, but it's still there, and so are most of the nukes. Think of this: many of the yanks in the missile silos are probably wacked out on some kind of dope .... many of their Russian counterparts are already into their second bottle of vodka when they show up for work. Let's ponder that as we worry about Iran, North Korea, India, Pakistan, Israel ..................

I think, in the event of the four minute warning, everyone would be evacuating involuntarily and it wouldn't be to a shelter either. Better stock up on air fresheners too! Lol.:

Slong as this 4 min warning is in the cricket season, i don't really give a stuff.
