This Will Rock Your Happy Little World

Oh yawn. Please. A bit over wrought, to say the least. I'm not ever impressed with such apocalyptic musings.

Look, highly industrialized civilization is so much more robust than anyone gives it credit for.

It will take much more than 6 nuclear bombs to take down Western civilization.

Sometimes I think you like to frighten yourself.

It would not take that much to end the easy way of life that we now lead. I believe that the West, and the USA in particular are staring into the abyss.

I hope that you will continue your own series on this subject: "The Sacrifice and the Reckoning.".

Industrial civilization is robust but six nukes will put a big hole in the western world's GDP. Shrinks will have more business, though.
Gerald, I'm with Charles- I hope to see part 2 of Sacrifice and Reckoning. Please?
