So, I'm going to the Douglas Coupland reading tomorrow night. He'll be signing books as well, and I'm thinking about giving him this little book I got at a giant used book sale called "How to Survive an Atomic Bomb." It's this old handbook, printed in 1950, that tells people how to prepare for and what to do after a nuclear attack (this was before intercontinental missles), but it also softpedals the reality of that type of situation, ie. if radioactive, "hot" ashes fall on your farm, just dig 'em into the soil, it's perfectly safe! It's an interesting relic of peoples' mindset at that point in history, and, as future anxiety is one of Coupland's recurring themes, I think he might appreciate it.

Then again, I kinda want to keep it for myself. biggrin

careful, it would seem that saying anything against nuclear weapons here can be construed as an anti-india, anti-israel and anti-american...something of which i have been told that i will be removed for now, so careful about criticism of nuclear weapons and the maniacs that feel they are viable weapons systems, because they seem to run this site and they have little tolerance for people that believe peace is something you work for and not bomb for...damn, i didn't want to sound to bitter, but i noticed you made me a friend and i probably won't be here much longer because of that...so i come off a little bitter....
