My House as a Teenager Had a Fallout Shelter

[get the red out]

12. I am 61

I remember asking my Dad where the nearest nuke would hit to our home in the middle of the eastern, KY Appalachia, if nuclear war happened. I somehow enjoyed those conversations. He thought that some big Chemical Plants in Charleston, WVA might be hit, or Louisville or Cincinnati. And then there was a documentary, called something like the 'morning after' about nuclear Holocaust. It scared my little sister to death and she couldn't get it out of her head! I tried to tell her what our Dad said, that the Russians don't want their children to die either.

Now we have the kind of government that really doesn't care how many people die, who they are, nor who kills them.
