"How would your life be different if you were taught in school a small nuclear war already took place?"
"Civilized countries' - that now form what we dub the 'nuclear club' - conducted over 2,000 nuclear blasts on the Earth, and these entities - the executioners of her slow death - vigorously deny any irreversible, incurable damage.
If you're looking for fallout maps, you won't find any such map here or anywhere that will satisfy your whim or sophisticated inquiry. Why? Because the executioners, to their best of their satisfactions, don't want you to see them. What you can and will see - if you seek it - are bits and pieces of the destruction: a high reading of radioactivity in wheat or milk here, of air over there, a trajectory map here, and a rare truthful analysis there. Put them together and you have what would happen in a small-but-non-mutually-destructi... nuclear war (that we erringly refer simply to as the Cold War): the radioactive fallout circling - for eons - around the Earth and within her biosphere as a consequence of our historic, 'peaceful' tit-for-tat nuclear testing exchange is no different than the fallout in the event of an actual nuclear exchange had 400 or so atomic and hydrogen bombs fell only in remote regions of land and sea on the globe. How would your life be different if you were taught in school a small nuclear war already took place? How would that change the way you see your life and your health? Or your country or the world?"

I wonder if there's a parity between nuclear testing and increased rates of cancer?

That "1945-1998" piece by Isao Hashimoto is teh awesome (when you've got some dark minimal techno playing in the background loudly).

lukus_w, when I was a kid my mother used to tell me about how a lot of oncology practices were opening in Southern Utah due to the radiation clouds that blew east from the Nevada Test Site. They call victims of that radiation “downwinders”

Also, as a kid, I remember eating breakfast we'd get mild earthquakes every so often. My grandmother would exclaim “oh, they just did another test at the test site this morning” ... kind of surreal looking back at that; it was something that just was. Now, I can't believe it really happened.
- wow - sounds surreal .. you could write a screenplay from this kind of stuff .. could make an interesting story.lukus_W

- strange.... I wouldn't expect FLA and parts of Texas to have as much as Nevada, Livermore CA, Almagordo, etcvaxorcist
- you mean as little? I assume that's the jet-stream delivering the death cloud to mid-america.Point5
- jet stream... hmmm.... might ask my dad the physicist....vaxorcist
- please do. i'm full of speculation at this pointPoint5

Imagine having a pimple on your face that itches constantly and blows itself up.

If you´re paranoid, you can store amounts of canned food, water in tetrabrik, and tons of iodine on a hole in the basement of your house.
If not, try to live with this

Hey listen better safe than sorry. And I for one plan to be on my cell phone all day tomorrow warning people about this shit.

There is far too much shit in this world to worry about.
This isn't one of them.

- Really? New York, then Lose Angeles, then Winnipeg????? what's in the 'Peg? lol_niko
- People. There are like 12,000 big fireworks or something ridiculous - might as well put on a full show!toemaas
- so really this is the inhalation of white people. Except Australia and New Zealand._niko

- Canada's arm of NORAD is headquartered in Winnipeg. All those ICBMs are flying over Canadian airspace, so knocking out NORAD knocks out missile defense.monNom
- I'd still rather be incinerated than die slowly over months and years as nuclear winter destroys all food. I mean, -32 in Australia... soooo.ETM
- Also, 218 rems is more than half the lethal dose of radiation poisoning, so you'd be sick or cancer riddled for your limited survival.ETM

- When narrow your focus to war and killing, a nuke seems ok. When you zoom out to the universe and how rare Earth is, it seems so stupid to even design nukes.shapesalad
