rmdthings i don't miss:
the cold war.
I just watched "threads", a bbc docudrama about what would happen if the cold war turned hot, focusing on sheffeild, england. i never did see "the day after", but apparently this is even bleaker. i can't say for sure, but it's pretty fucking bleak. it's out on google video and is a bit under two hours long.
I'll take the risk of a terrorist attack that might kill a few thousand people over having to rely on people like stanislav petrov and vasili arkhipov to save the world. (these were not the only near misses)
peace on earth, good will towards men.
