Meltdown

The boomers had men landing on the moon as a kid and all we had was fun like Chernobyl. JenX asks how this impacted our childhood. For me personally, as stupid young lad, I just thought that "at least we'll go quick". All the doomsdayers really had us convinced the world was going to look like the final scene of Dr. Strangelove.

Maybe this is why so many bought into the "mushroom cloud" argument in the lead up to the Iraq War?
