  I guess I'll open the fallout shelter's nuclear discussion...it's kind of amusing, that when someone asks about nukes (warheads) or missiles, I almost always wind up being the person referred to for an answer. I guess its uncomfortable, but I enjoy it nevertheless. 1. Is nuclear war winnable? No. Military strategists will and have contended that it is, but in the sense of preserving a reasonable civilian population size, it really isn't.
Military strategists are forced to employ a strategy of what I call "Strategic Genocide," the systematic elimination of civilian and military targets, in order to fulfill something like that. Millions would die in their theory that "if we get more of our nukes through then they do to us, we'll stop 'em cold before they can hit us again. " In a morbid sense, nuclear war is winnable, but at the cost of most of the populations of both nations (or more, even)? So, no. I don't think nuclear war is winnable. Besides, who would you celebrate with?
More later, when I figure out the next question to answer. Someone who reads this gave Priya the nice little idea that I said she was a bitch in yesterday's entry. Fortunately, the writing speaks for itself, and hopefully I was vindicated. Imagine this for an opener on your Trillian IM window: Session Start (AIM - champcarfan2931:Priya) Priya: hey, i am not a bitch! *** Auto-response sent to Priya: I was here... ChampCarFan2931: I didn't call you a bitch, Priya. What are you talking about?
You know, one of the things I never expected to see in this blog was the potential for things to be misread, or in this guy's particular case, outright manipulated . I'm a straight-up writer, just with an unassuming twist. That's all I try to be. But nooo....here I go again, complaining about what people say about this blog. Sooner or later, I'm simply going to appoint Kalin the admin and leave this place for the Interstate. I never did mention the Alias finale, did I?
Well, it was...bizarre. The second season of the spy thriller ends two years in the future, a future in which a formerly lovestruck (with Syd) Vaughn is married. Sydney was feared dead. Other than that, we'll have to wait until September-ish 2003. All this season finale talk reminds me of Smallville...for a while I stopped watching, only to realize the only things I'd been missing were the reruns. Tonight's finale (part one, anyway), was full of those "iced out" moments.
I guess the sharpest one was a minute from the end, when Chloe caught Clark making out hard with Lana (she stalked off, tears flowing down her cheeks), but hey, Helen's dismissal of Lex was sharp, too. Next week, the red Kryptonite returns, and Clark will be set to ice everyone, including his own "family. " I'm looking forward to it. urlLink 1. Packrat or minimalist? Packrat 2.
Computer: desktop or laptop? Laptops preferred cold, not shaken or stirred 3. Seashore or mountains? Mountains 4. Carpeting or bare floors? carpeting 5.
Drinking water: bottled or tap? Bottled 6. Shopping websites: eBay or Amazon? Please. 7. Cute little kitties or big scary tigers?
Kittens. 8. Front door or back door? Whichever one that gets me less attention 9. Lots of jewelry, or little/none? Ice, ice, and more ice.
Power to those that have it. 10. Thought-provoking question of the week: At the last minute, you obtain tickets to an event you're dying to attend. However, you have to work that day! Do you ask the boss for the time off, or just call in sick? Call in sick and pray to high heavens that the boss won't be there/is a fan.
