Lines: 13 From: Earl Weaver (VLD/ATB)I think that TESTAMENT showed how little the average US citizen knows about the nuclear radiation. I'm sure we all agree that nuclear war is the last thing we'd want. But if the balloon does go up, I'm not going to rush to fall on my sword. Maybe it'll get cold & we'll all perish, but I guarantee I'm not going to die from radiation by immediately running around outside while it's hot as those did in TESTAMENT. If the unthinkable ever happens, and the earth survives, I think it'll be a Mormon world. Somebody told me that Mormons are supposed to have several months' supplies of staples and water to tide them over in times of want (and that practice started long before anybody knew anything about nuclear horrors).
