If there's a nuclear war, anyone who's not instantly creamed in the coastal ci-
ties will be slowly creamed in the fallout, so basically there's no difference,
why not live life to the fullest?  Shucks, the whole world could end tomorrow!
Nothing is promised to us.  I don't worry about the nuclear nightmare because
there's so much to live for.
