Kiss your ass goodbye.

I remember almost 50 years ago we would practice air raid drills in school by hiding under our desks. Apparently atomic weapons can not penetrate square wooden objects. Some children were asked to bring sheets to wrap themselves in for protection. Unfortunately sheets are flammable, so it would have been like wearing a giant kleenex and jumping into an active volcano. These days almost everyone is getting nuclear weapons, and for the most part they hate us. While we laugh at our naive attempt to avoid annihilation in the past, at least we took it seriously. President Obama unveiled a policy that limits the U.S. using nuclear weapons under certain circumstances. Having a weapon and telling your enemy you won't use it invites aggression doesn't it? Maybe we should go back to having drills and cowering under wooden objects. We may not survive, but crouching down will make it easier to kiss your ass goodbye.
