Just visiting those places freaks me out. I'd be the guy trying to call for confirmation in 'War Games'... I don't think I could turn the key. It's starting to feel like society has lost the fear of nuclear war... If you ever want a wake up call, watch the 80's BBC movie 'Threads'. |

One ended the next day, with a collective sigh along the lines of the cliche "I've talked to the hospital, and the [shot] patient is going to be OK". The other ended 13 years later, with a scream. |

what they need to show is the conscription of labor into industries for rebuilding the country set at 1880 labor rights level w/ radioactive food for pay (tested to be safe enough for the usable life of the labor force). Especially if there is still war and you end up having to work on a shell factory eating slightly radioactive corn. Better hope a local democrat leader survives, the other kind might just have his standard oil dreams come true. Civil achievement past 1850 = unaffordable luxury and the exciting black market of medication and normal food |
