| Ground Zero or Nuclear winter ? Lets say the Cold War went Hot. The USSR and USA had a massive nuclear war and all major cities in both countries were flattened along some allied cities/countries. Nuclear Winter is imminent. What would you choose if possible; Try to survive the Nuclear Winter, or be at Ground Zero ? Ground Zero for me. |

| ... to catch it. I'd rather catch the missile between the eyes than go out slowly with radiation poisoning. Ground Zero is where I'd want to be. |

| If i can steer clear of the radiation, I would go Nuclear Winter. After reading Lucifers Hammer I don't think it has been much of a choice for me. Plus, I have already considered cutting the sleeve off my leather jacket road-warrior style...

| Most bombs used today are fairly clean, the radiation fallout would effect the surrounding areas but it could be avoided. In any situation I always want to live, I'll go down fighting and enjoying every moment of life that is given to me. Death is to permanent to accept so easily. |

| If I had the choice I would choose ground zero, but I don't think we would have a choice, it would just be a matter of where you happened to be. Radiation poisoning would be a painful way to go.

| Factoid There is enough nuclear armament worldwide to still kill the entire population of earth seven times over. Even the Russia newspapers Pravda and The Moscow Times do not deny this reality. Rather doubtful few, if any, will see a nuclear winter. Of the few who might see a nuclear winter it is even more doubtful they will have descendants to learn of it. |

| Heh...I don't have an option. I'm awfully close to Nellis AFB. What with them housing the F-117As, controlling some Predators, and with Groom Lake out in the nearby desert, I think I'd be seeing multiple incoming warheads. Given my druthers I'd like to try and survive it, though. - Coeloptera |

| I'd say survive it, just because I can always end my own life just as easy if something was happening to me. Plus if I do survive it that be one Hell of a story! |

| I would rather try to tough it out, and survive it. Unless Springdale, Arkansas IS ground zero!

| Definetly try to survive, I can always end it later if need be. Although I live only 35 miles from NYC, so I am not in the best of places to survive a full out attack. Saw the towers fall on 9/11, unreal. |
