Sterling, there's a thread posted by Chris a day or two ago about Chernobyl with this link.



It is a great site - as I sez, it would make a great book or documentary!

Yer welcome, Chris! Hey, did you come across that site's creatorix email addy? I know she has the snailmail one.



I have a guess about her email, though. I should try and see if an email bounces back at me.

Along with about 100 other people had "There's Hope for Detroit after all.." or to that effect in the title of the email. Being he's a used guitar dealer and plays in a few bands, i was expecting a great new local act.. (I guess he meant if out nuclear plant went up it would be good for the area..., don't get the humor myself.)

Ron - I sent her a postcard but didn't see any email address.



Gregg- that does sound baffling... You may have interpreted the humour right but just didn't find it funny.......

It say.. "Detroit isn't so bad after all.." , a little differnt than joking about nuclear destruction.., I should never trust my memory...



That is a frightening reality though.. All these countries trying to obtain nuclear capability.., if those missles ever fly, I guess it could mean the end for all of us..

Chris - since her site is hosted by Angelfire, I tried using her Angelfire user name @ Angelfire. Hasn't bounced back to me yet, so far.



Gregg -



Yeah, it is quite scary that unstable countries (e.g North Korea, Pakistan) and terrorist groups have - or will likely have in the future - the nukes. The nations that have had nuke capabilities for a long time have a lot of mechanisms to process before they would launch, e.g. an open hotline to one another. With such nations, the bottom line is to avoid using them. For others the paradigm is the opposite - especially for terrorists - the bottom line there is "we got 'em to use 'em" for a specific target/intent.



Not to be a downer or ruin anyone's day, but I would be surprised if one was not detonated somewhere, sometime in our lifetime. Then there's the "poor man's nuclear weapon", which is much easier to create - radioactive material combined with a conventional explosive. Less death & destruction, but it spreads a great deal of radiation in a small area (a few blocks, quarter mile), making it uninhabitable for decades or centuries.



Geez, now I've gone and depressed myself!!!

Made in Russia I'm told and theres 90+ unaccounted for at the moment.. Imagine NYC, Chicago & LA going up at the same time and dozens more set to do the same???



Some type of scenario of this sort could happen.., with all the wackos running loose in this world we live in..

Okay, Sterling, so I got un-depressed about the world - then I read your reply.



Wish I had the makings for a Manhattan or two. Make it double, heavy on the sweet vermouth and hold the cherry. Yup.

But you can go through life with your head in the sand or chose to be aware of reality.., I choose factual reality.

I'm agreeing with you, Sterling. (And would add "suitcase nukes" to the list of possible nightmares!Yiii!)



We do indeed have to take the realities of life, we have no choice on that; but sometimes a shot of fine, aged bourbon makes a good chaser! I think where people go wrong is in inverting that order and putting whatever their choice of "chaser" first to be able to handle reality.

A reality it is Gregg. And no hiding heads in sands for me either but no living in fear from me. You are making people aware by posting these posts and invoking thought. Thank you.
