You note that children are worrying about nuclear war at
surprisingly early ages.  Well, I wonder why.  Look at the
crap shoveled out daily by TV news commentators -- who 
obviously have an ax to grind with RR (Dan Rather, to name
the most nefarious offender).  [But before everyone jumps 
all over me, I do not favor isolating children (or anyone
else) from reality.  What I object to is the liberal tilt
given to that reality.]

On to a net.singles subject.  Are there really people in
this world who plan their relationships (or lack thereof)
around the possibility of a nuclear war?  They are probably
the same people who carry umbrellas to Southern California
and wear SCUBA gear in the bathtub.  In the infamous words
of John Riggins, "Come on, baby, loosen up."  There are much
more important things to worry about: should I call her for
a date, will she say yes, where should we go if she says yes,
etc?  

Oh, well, on to net.flame...
