Saw this and reminded me how far "the threat" has receded from general conciousness. I remember a time when the fear seemed very justified.

9 minutes 30 seconds of pure depression.

Thanks for sharing that gem. Either I'd made it through the 70s without hearing that song or I'd forcibly erased it from my memory... for good reason.

I think it is helpful to rehearse the end of the world on a regular basis. It helps give perspective to our beautiful fragile existence and, in particular, the beauty of the human soul.

Good point.
Maybe they should cover it in a soap opera?

Didn't you think with the Cold War being over, things should have gotten better. How many of y'all were as stupid as I was in believing that? Wow it's over - 40 years of threat of nuclear weapons - it's over, cool, cool... Wrong! Now 12 different countries have nuclear weapons - it just got 12 times as bad, **** you! Life is harder now. Work hard - oops jobs are scarce, **** you, ha ha ha.
