Because some people never take off the tinfoil

Are you ready for a nuclear holocaust? Hope you don't live in Missouri, Nebraska, Colorado, Montana or the Dakotas. North Dakota is particularly fun to look at.

Some of the pages look like they haven't been updated since the 20th century. Even the links marked "updated pages" have time stamps from 2001.

Heh, I notice they still indicate Loring Air Force Base as a prime target in Maine. It's been closed since 1994. I suppose the godless Communists might want to take out the Defense Department accounting office or the humvee garage that are operating on the site, but it seems unlikely somehow.

Perhaps the theory is that, with the fall of the Soviet Union, the targeting data for their nukes were never changed, and so still reflects pre-1989 targets?

(I've actually heard variations on that posited a time or two.)

The tinfoil hats keep it fresh.

The funny thing is, there IS a reactor in the Apex area. When I lived there I kept the government provided potassium iodide pills and such in my emergency pack. I also realized their evac plan was garbage and made my own. Then I found out my own plan worked GREAT, not for the reactor, but for the exploding chemical plant that covered the entire town in chlorine gas. I'm not saying we should all be hyper-paranoid, I'm just saying paranoia, properly applied has uses you'd NEVER think of...
