Summary: 


A while back, someone (I don't remember who) asked:

> ...  Are there really people in this world who plan their relationships
> (or lack thereof) around the possibility of a nuclear war? ...

What about the classic line from the late 50's and early 60's:

	Common, baby!  We might as well go all the way.
	After all, we could be blown up tomorrow.

The proper response of course was:

	Well, since we're likely to be blown up tomorrow,
	I suppose you have nothing against marrying me tonight!
