Welcome The Fireball...

Learn it, Love it, Live it. It's coming, folks, and there is nothing our wimp-ass leadership is going to do about it.

Frankly, I think they look at the coming holocaust as 'terraforming'. MAD was a myth. I did a research paper in college decades ago, and with it an associated graphic of a global map of the world. I used colored dots and such to simulate a full scale nuclear conflict between the US, the Soviet Union, and China. I was stunned to see, after hearing all that propaganda bullshit for years about "being able to destroy the world 50 times over" just how much untouched land there would be in each country involved after such an exchange, and how quickly the natural filters of the planet would cleanse it (extrapolating from the Japanese WW2 model). Canada was fucked though, of course. And much of our East Coast. Awwwwww....

I say 'Bring it on!' We can shuffle timidly to the brink, or we can jump boldly over it. It's just a matter of time.
