don't ask me why I'm getting all end of the world shit on you guys I've just been fascinated with it lately. This weekend I've watched WWIII (a BBC fake doc), Special Report (1983 TV movie), Testament and Threads (BBC again). All good movies that I would recommend. I have a question to ask anyone who was alive back then, just how close in 1982-84 did we come to nuclear war? Was it really scary, like a magnitude worse than the threat off terrorism we face today or is today worse? I'm just curious because I thought that once the Cuban Missle Crisis was over we never really got close again to WWIII with the USSR. Apparently I was wrong. I think I'm going to do my senior poly sci thesis on this.
