How do we avoid nuclear holocust

There is an easy fix for that. Drink only distilled water (or rain water) and pure grain alcohol.

Now that you mention it, I don’t remember seeing a Russkie drinking anything BUT water…or vodka!

I think we should have a nuclear abstinence program taught in high schools and get kids to sign a pledge that they will never nuke anyone. I’m sure that will work.

Of course that’s the answer. Even Sagan was aware that nobody could nuke a cute widdle puppy.

Has anyone really been far, even as decided to use, even go, want to do, look more like?

This reminds me of the time I accidentally a fleshlight.

You’re always taking the easy way out. Anyone can stop a nuclear holocust by not using nukes. The genius would be someone who indeed uses nukes without escalating to a holocust.

Rule number 2. Only use nukes against those who have no nukes to shoot back at you.

Rule number 3. Only use nukes against places nobody likes anyway, like New Jersey.

Rule number 4. Only use nukes against places with very low population densities, lest com-symp pinkos accuse you of holocusting a whole city.

Rule number 5. Use realy small nukes.

No. Better: Direct-to-DVD movie name. Starring Cynthia Brimhall, Misty Mundae, and Brinke Stevens.

We could start by banning assault nukes, the ones with bayonet lugs and flash suppressors.

Absolutely. No private citizen needs to own a nuclear weapon with a bayonet lug.

Well, as long as I can keep my belt-fed Davy Crockett. It’s always such a hit on the Fourth of July.

Damn. Got 'im in mid-sentence. They’re getting really good with this surgical strike stuff.

Seriously, how do we avoid a nuclear holocaust? We don’t. Sooner or later, one nation will attack another with nuclear weapons. We can (and should) slow it down a little, but there’s nothing we can do to stop it. I’m guessing the first nuclear exchange will be between India and Pakistan, although Israel and Iran are a pretty good bet, too.

One vaporized city dooes not a holocust make.

Six cities, though… that’s The End, man!

The End of Days?

The End – the Doors song?

There’s a lot of wiggle room between 1 city and 6. We could probably come up with a list of 5 cities that hardly anyone would gripe about. Hmmm. Gary, IN; Breezewood, PA; Sparta, WI; Wasilla, AK, and practically anywhere in Kansas. See how easy?

This is insanity!

Radioactive dust in the wind, man. All we are is dust in the wind emitting fast neutrons.

Yeah, but it’s very holocaust like. I mean, like, it’s got a lot of holocaust-type aspects. Mainly, hundreds of thousands of people dying in a horrible way for no good reason. I guess my concept of a holocaust is just more compact and has a smaller carbon footprint than yours. More eco-friendly, y’know?

Long-term, given all the resources those people and their descendents would use up, it may be that a nule is a ‘greener’ solution than letting them live. And isn’t that a good reason in and of itself?

Oh scratch that, I haven’t crunched the numbers on whether vaporizing humans is eco-friendly or not. I just wanted to make the point that, as with most other things, “think globally, act locally” applies to nuclear annihilation as well.

Sparta, Wisconsin is the home of the Deke Slayton Memorial Space and Bike Museum. It must go.
